I Have Heard A Most Wonderful Story

I have heard a most wonderful story

Of Jesus, the Savior and King;

How He came from the bright realms of glory

Glad news of salvation to bring.

Refrain

O wonderful, wonderful Savior,

Thy praises with joy we will sing:

For coming on earth to redeem us

We crown Thee forever our King!

With the poor and the lowly He mingled-

Yes, even the vilest of men,

Showing mercy and love as they lingered,

To hear His blest words unto them.

Refrain

A poor woman was brought to Him helpless,

To be stoned for her sins in the past;

He replied to them, "He that is sinless,

By him let the first stone be cast."

Refrain

See Him weep at a grave in the hour

When tears of anguish are shed;

See Him bursting the tomb by His power,

Saying, "Lazarus, come forth from the dead!"

Refrain

Yes, He came to give life to the dying,

To heal all the broken in heart;

And He promised a home where's no sighing,

And loved ones shall ne'er again part.
