1 – Wonderful story of love!

Tell it to me again;

Wonderful story of love!

Wake the immortal strain.

Angels with rapture announce it,

Shepherds with wonder receive it;

Sinner, O wonโ€™t you believe it?

Wonderful story of love!

Refrain:

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!

2 – Wonderful story of love!

Though you are far away;

Wonderful story of love!

Still he doth call today.

Calling from Calvaryโ€™s mountain,

Down from the crystal bright fountain,

Eโ€™en from the dawn of creation;

Wonderful story of love!

3 – Wonderful story of love!

Jesus provides a rest;

Wonderful story of love!

For all the pure and blest;

Rest in those mansions above us,

With those whoโ€™ve gone on before us,

Singing the rapturous chorus;

Wonderful story of love!
