There's power in the gospel, the same blessed gospel
That prophet and psalmist proclaim;
It echoes from Eden, it rings down the ages,
Salvation through one mighty name.
We will sing it forever, while angels to listen
Will silence their harp-strings of gold;
The song of the ransomed, this glorious gospel.
The story, sweet story of old.
Then give us the gospel we find in our Bible,
To answer the soul's longing cry;
A Fathers forgiveness, a Saviour's redemption,
And grace in abounding supply.
We will sing it forever, while angels to listen
Will silence their harp-strings of gold;
The song of the ransomed, this glorious gospel.
The story, sweet story of old.
We'll thankfully take it, this same blessed gospel.
No other will comfort impart;
'Tis hope for the contrite, 'tis bread for the hungry,
'Tis rest for the weary of heart.
We will sing it forever, while angels to listen
Will silence their harp-strings of gold;
The song of the ransomed, this glorious gospel.
The story, sweet story of old.
Then joyfully tell it, this blessed old gospel,
We need it, we need it today;
Good tidings from heaven, the story of Jesus,
The Life, and the Truth, and the Way.
We will sing it forever, while angels to listen
Will silence their harp-strings of gold;
The song of the ransomed, this glorious gospel.
The story, sweet story of old.
