Sweet is the story

Sweet is the story of the Saviour's wondrous love, How Christ, the Lord of life and glory Came to earth from heaven above To seek and to save us; His own precious life He gave, That each sinner trusting in Him He might freely save!

May we, this Saviour, now in simple faith receive, And bravely own Him as our Lord, His own assuring word believe; Then loyally serve Him, Gratefully His praises sing, Grow in grace and in the knowledge Of our Lord and King!

One day, from heaven, shall the Lord Himself appear, The dead in Christ, The saints then living, Both shall meet Him in the air; Be with Him and like Him, From all sin and sorrow free, And shall praise their dear Redeemer For eternity
