There Is A Wondrous Story

And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him. Acts 8:35

But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand, 1 Corinthians 15:1

  1. Acts 8:35, 1 Corinthians 15:1There is a wondrous story,

    Acts 5:42, 1 Corinthians 15:11That often has been told,

    1 Timothy 1:11, 2 Corinthians 4:4So full of grace and glory,

    Acts 17:19,31, 1 John 1:7,8So new and yet so old.

    Acts 8:4, Romans 1:15And now again we tell it,

    Ephesians 3:8, 2 Corinthians 4:4So rich, so full, so free;

    Revelation 5:11-14, 1 Thessalonians 1:8And hosts unnumbered swell it

    Revelation 5:11-14, 2 Thessalonians 2:14Throughout eternity.

  2. 2 Corinthians 8:9, 1 Timothy 2:5,6He who was rich in glory

    John 6:38, 1 Timothy 2:5,6Came down to earth below

    Ephesians 4:9,10, John 15:13In love, O wondrous story!

    Ephesians 4:9,10, Philippians 2:8To lowest depths did go.

    1 Peter 1:19, Hebrews 9:14Jesus, the spotless Victim,

    1 Peter 2:24, 1 Corinthians 8:11Died there upon the tree,

    Romans 5:2, Romans 8:31That we might know God's favour,

    Luke 4:18,18, Galatians 5:1From judgement ever free.

  3. 1 Corinthians 11:23, John 13:30How dark that night of sorrow

    Matthew 27:43-51, Mark 15:33Through which the Saviour passed!

    Psalms 42:7, Jonah 2:3And deep the stormy waters,

    Jonah 2:3, Zechariah 13:7And fierce the tempest blast!

    Luke 24:19, Acts 4:12But O the mighty Saviour,

    1 Corinthians 15:54,55, 1 Corinthians 15:4Victorious o'er the grave,

    Romans 8:34, 1 Corinthians 15:20Has ris'n in glorious power,

    Luke 19:10, Revelation 1:18And lives the lost to save.

  4. Psalms 30:5, Mark 16:9The darkness all is ended,

    Isaiah 21:12, Romans 6:9That night for ever past;

    Mark 16:19To God's right hand ascended,

    John 14:3, James 4:7,8He'll come again at last,

    1 Thessalonians 5:9,10, 1 Thessalonians 4:16To call His ransomed people

    1 Thessalonians 5:9,10, 1 Thessalonians 4:17To yonder glory bright -

    1 John 2:2, Romans 8:29Made like to His own image,

    1 Thessalonians 4:17To dwell with Him in light.
