1. Once our gentle, loving Savior,
Was a child like you and me;
Come, and hear the precious story,
Naught on earth so sweet can be.
Refrain
Come, and hear the precious story,
How He came the lost to save;
How His life was only sorrow,
From the cradle, the cradle to the grave.
2. Come, and hear the precious story,
How our blessèd Lord was slain;
Once He gave Himself our ransom,
Now for us He lives again. [Refrain]
3. Come, and hear the precious story,
Though repeated o’er and o’er;
Still, it always tell us something
That we never knew before. [Refrain]
4. O how much we ought to thank Him
For the many gifts we share;
O how much we ought to praise Him
For His kind and watchful care. [Refrain]
