HE'S
ALTOGETHER LOVELY
Have you heard the angels'
story of a Savior come to earth?
How the shepherds saw the
glory of the infant Jesus' birth,
When the bright light shone
around them, they obeyed the heavenly call,
And in swaddling clothes
they found Him, midst the cattle in the stall?
Have you heard the Master
weeping o'er the sinful hearts of men,
With a love that knows no
sleeping, calling loudly unto them?
As the hen beneath her
feathers soothes the little ones' alarms,
So Jesus runs and gathers
all who want Him to His arms
Did you never hear how Jesus
gave to wearied hearts sweet rest?
How He cured from all
diseases those who came to Him opprest?
The poor dying thief He
pardoned, and the woman at the well,
For no matter how sin -
hardened - Oh! His love can break the spell!
Have you been to sad
Of Jesus with the enemy
bowed down beneath the storm?
Have you seen those blood-drops
falling? Heard that agonizing groan,
As He prayed, His Father
calling, "Not My will, but Thine be done?"
Have you felt in
When He died on yonder
mountain your Redeemer from above?
There's forgiveness in His
precious blood, forgiveness in His prayer;
There's forgiveness through our pardoning God - forgiveness free as air!
