The Old, Old Story

LET no strange fire be kindled On the altar of the Lord! Or oil, unbeaten, mingled In sacrifice be poured; For God most high is jealous Of wisdom man assumes, His righteous wrath is zealous Lest human pride presumes.
All hail the blessed Jesus, Earth's lowly paths that trod. Who died, from death to save us — Now on the throne of God! Go, go proclaim his glory — The cradle, cross, and crown; Go tell the old, old story, Till all the Saviour own.
Behold! the day is breaking — The glory shining forth! The Gentile nations shaking Through all the wide, wide earth! What fills the world with glory, Makes human wisdom dross? The same, the old, old story Of Jesus and the cross!
— Selected.
