The Story That Never Grows Old

Words: James M. Gray (1851-1939)

Music: Ira David Sankey, circa 1901

1. O tell me the story that never grows old,
The story of One Whom the prophets foretold;
The Horn of salvation, the Scepter and Star,
The Light in the darkness they saw from afar.

Refrain
It never grows old, it never grows old,
The story of Jesus will never grow old!

2. O tell me the story that never grows old,
The story the angel at Bethlehem told;
The Babe in the manger, of lowliest birth,
The highest archangel excelling in worth. Refrain

3. O tell me the story that never grows old,
The story the Gospels repeat manifold;
The love and compassion in Jesus we trace,
The power and patience, the glory and grace. Refrain

4. O tell me the story that never grows old,
The story the ages to come will unfold;
The kindness of God in redeeming the lost,
The death of our Savior in paying the cost. Refrain
