Come and Hear the Story Told

Verse 1

Come and hear the story told, Of the Savior from above; It will more thy heart to pity, It will move thy heart to love; All the glory that He had with the Father on His throne, Lo! He casts aside for sinners, That He might for them atone.

Chorus

Come and hear the story told, Of the Savior from above; It will more thy heart to pity, It will move thy heart to love.

Verse 2

Oh, the poverty and woe That the Savior took instead Of the glory and the riches That were all around Him spread; Yes, my eyes are moved to tears, and my heart to sympathy, When I listen to the story Of the Savior’s love for me.

Verse 3

Just as sweet the story sounds Of the blessed Savior’s birth, As it did to watching Shepherds When it first was born to earth; Just as sweet the story seems, Tho’ I’ve heard it o’er and o’er, Of the Savior’s love and pity, Such as ne’er was shown before.
