I love to tell the story

How Christ came from above;

How he loved little children,

And taught them deathless love.

I want to tell the story

How Christ gives us release;

Is crucified a thousand times

To prove LIFE can not cease.

Sing out, sing out, ye sons of men;

Sing anthems to our King.

The risen Christ in you shall then

Good will to nations bring.

Please listen to me, stranger;

In reverence bow your head.

This Jesus, whom I love so well,

A martyr for you bled.

He gave his life a ransom

That sinners he might save.

They put him in a lonely toumb,

But he rose up from the grave.
