1 O tell the sweet story wherever you go,—
The story of earth’s sweetest name;
Go tell it, that all His salvation may know,
‘Tis a story worth telling again.

Refrain:
‘Tis a story worth telling again,
A story worth telling again;
God’s voice from above bids you go in His love,
‘Tis a story worth telling again.

2 The blood of the Lamb will wash whiter than snow,
On Calv’ry for us He was slain;
To all who have heard not, O hasten and go,—
‘Tis a story worth telling again. [Refrain]

3 Ye workers together with Jesus, rejoice!
Your labor shall not be in vain;
Go, compass the world with salvation’s glad voice,
‘Tis a story worth telling again. [Refrain]
