Christ in Song

  1. 2Tell Me the Old, Old StoryTell me the old, old sto - ry, Of unseen things a - bove, Of Je - sus and his glo - ry, Of Je - sus and his love; Tell me the sto - ry slow - ly, That I may take it in— That won - der - ful re - demp-tion, God's rem - e - dy for sin.
  2. 4At the DoorThe mistakes of my life are many, The sins of my heart are more; And I scarce can find I am weeping, But I know I am weak and sinful, My love - of it brings me few him; O'er the failure and the fall.
  3. 17Though Your Sins Be as ScarletThough your sins be as scar - let, They shall be as white as snow; as white as snow, as white as the glo - ry, They be; Though they be red like crim - son, They shall be as wool! Hear the voice that en-treats you, O re - turn ye un - to God! He'll for-give your transgressions, And re-member them no more.
  4. 121All Have Gone AstrayAll we like sheep have gone astray, have gone astray, have gone astray
