Sing the Wondrous Story
Sing the Wondrous Story
1. Sing, sing the wondrous storyOf a hundred years,Since, from the courts of gloryTo this vale of tears,God sent his chosen servantTo restore againThe gospel long since takenFrom the midst of men.
2. Sing of the youthful Joseph,He, the good and true,Who asked the heav’nly FatherHow his will to do.Sing how from heav’n descendedFather and the Son,And gave the boy the answerWhich his faith had won.
3. Sing of the brother martyrs:One in all the strife,Each sealed his testimonyWith his mortal life.Sing how the work has prospered,Spreading o’er the Earth;Sing, sing our thanks to heavenFor a prophet’s birth.
