1 Do you know the wondrous story?
Have you ever heard it told?
How that Jesus came from heaven,
Seeking lost ones from the fold?

Refrain:
Do you know the wondrous story?
Have you ever heard it told?
Do you know the wondrous story?
That with telling ne’er grows old?

2 Have you heard how much He suffered?
Hanging on the cruel tree?
That we all might have salvation,
And might live eternally. [Refrain]

3 Is it true that you have heard it?
Have the tidings reached your ear?
Then why not just now believe it,
And find comfort, hope and cheer. [Refrain]
