MHB 857 – GOD has given us a Book full of stories

Methodist-Hymns-857

1:  GOD has given us a Book full of stories
Which was made for His people of old,
It begins with the tale of a garden,
And ends with the city of gold.

2:  But the best is the story of Jesus,
Of the Babe with the ox in the stall,
Of the song that was sung by the angels,
The most beautiful story of all.

3:  There are stories for parents and children,
For the old who are ready to rest,
But for all who can read them or listen,
The story of Jesus is best.

4:  For it tells how He came from the Father,
His far-away children to call,
To bring the lost sheep to their Shepherd,
The most beautiful story of all.
