1 I once heard a sweet story of wonderful love,
And it lifted the cross that I bore,
Made me think of the home and the dear ones above,
I am longing to hear it once more.
Refrain:
I am longing to hear it once more,
The story repeat o’er and o’er;
It is rapture divine to know He is mine;
I am longing to hear it once more.
2 Tho’ afar I had wandered in darkness and sin,
And tho’ helpless, and weary, and poor,
This sweet story left light, hope and gladness within;
I am longing to hear it once more. [Refrain]
3 That sweet story of Jesus who died on the tree
Will be told on eternity’s shore;
How He came as a ransom for you and for me,
I am longing to hear it once more. [Refrain]
