The Children Sing, no. 189
Sing the Wondrous Story

1. Sing, sing the wondrous story Of a hundred years, Since, from the courts of glory To this vale of tears, God sent his chosen servant To restore again The gospel long since taken From the midst of men.

2. Sing of the youthful Joseph, He, the good and true, Who asked the heav’nly Father How his will to do. Sing how from heav’n descended Father and the Son, And gave the boy the answer Which his faith had won.

3. Sing of the brother martyrs: One in all the strife, Each sealed his testimony With his mortal life. Sing how the work has prospered, Spreading o’er the Earth; Sing, sing our thanks to heaven For a prophet’s birth.
