It Must Be Told
Almeda E. Wight • English
Primary Scripture: Esther 4:14
Verse 1
’Tis a sweet and tender story, How the Father from above Looked down on His erring children With the pitying eye of love; How He sent His Well Belovèd, Forgiveness to unfold; That sweet and tender story, O Christian, must be told.
Chorus
It must be told, it must be told, The story must be told; That sweet and tender story, O Christian, must be told.
Verse 2
’Tis the very same old story That has warmed the cold world’s heart Through the centuries that have vanished, But its charm can ne’er depart; There are souls that have not heard it, Some hearts so strangely cold; To these, O faltering Christian, The story must be told.
Chorus
It must be told, it must be told, The story must be told; That sweet and tender story, O Christian, must be told.
Verse 3
Say you not that unavailing Seem the words you try to speak; Trust the Holy Spirit’s unction, It shall strengthen what is weak. Go forth to do His bidding; The truth shall make you bold; Though few shall heed your story, That story must be told.
Chorus
It must be told, it must be told, The story must be told; That sweet and tender story, O Christian, must be told.
