1 Since your childhood you have heard the wondrous story
Of the Christ who gave His life on Calv’ry’s tree;
How for you He left His Father’s home in glory,
Bore the cross that you from sin might be made free.
Refrain:
Do you know Him? know my Savior?
Do you know His wondrous love and mighty power?
If you knew Him as I know Him,
You would make my Savior yours this very hour.
2 Just to know my precious Savior is to love Him,
I have always found Him loving, constant, true;
There’s no other friend so great but He’s above him,
What my Savior is to me He’ll be to you. [Refrain]
3 Sinner, will you learn to know my precious Savior?
In His love is refuge safe from all alarms;
Come to Him, and you will share His blessèd favor
In the shelter of His everlasting arms. [Refrain]
