What is this beautiful story
Jessie is loving so well?
O, ‘tis a tale full of glory,
Holding the heart in its spell.
For ‘tis the tale of the Saviour
Dying on Calvary’s tree,
Paving the debt of the sinner
That you and I might go, free.
Dow He keeps watch o’er the children,
Looks on the world from above;
Loads His redeemed ones to heaven
Where they may “rest in His love.”
Could any story be sweeter,
Or one even half so sweet
As the one this little sister
Loves o’er and o’er to repeat?
Precious to her is the Saviour,
Who on the cross shed his blood
For His dear sake she is tender,
Kind to her sister and good.
Letting her light shine for Jesus,
Living for Him day by day,
Feeling His aid, and His presence,
Guiding each step of the way.
Children, have you heard the story?
Are you washed “Whiter than snow”?
Tell of the Lord and His glory,
Tell it wherever you go.
Live every day for the Saviour,
Show forth His grace and His love,
Shining for Him ever brighter
Until you meet Him above.
