The Precious Story

Author: John M. Lowrie Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 35 hymnals First Line: How precious is the story Lyrics: 1 How precious is the story, Of our Redeemer’s birth, Who left the realms of glory, And came to dwell on earth: He saw our sad condition, Our guilt, and sin, and shame; To save us from perdition The blessèd Jesus came. 2 He came to earth from Heaven, To weep and bleed and die, That we might be forgiven, And raised to God on high; His kindness and compassion, To children then were shown, The heirs of His salvation, He claimed them for His own. 3 Oh, may I love this Savior, So good, so kind, so mild! And may I find His favor, A young though sinful child; And in His blissful Heaven, May I at last appear, With all my sins forgiven, To know and praise Him there. Used With Tune: WEBB Text Sources: Linden Harp by Lilla Linden (New York: 1855)

His kindness and compassion, To children then were shown; The heirs of his salvation, He claimed them for his own. [Refrain] 3 Oh! may I love their Saviour, So good, so kind, so mild! And may I find his favor; A young tho’ sinful child. And in his blissful heaven, May I at last appear, With all my sins forgiven, To know and praise Him there.
