Sing them over again to me

109 Sing Them Over Again to Me

1 Sing them over again to me -
   Wonderful words of Life;
   Let me more of their beauty see -
   Wonderful words of Life.
   Words of life and beauty
   Teach me faith and duty:

Refrain:
   Beautiful words, wonderful words,
   Wonderful words of Life;
   Beautiful words, wonderful words,
   Wonderful words of Life.

2 Christ, the blessed One, gives to all
   Wonderful words of Life;
   Listen well to the loving call -
   Wonderful words of Life.
   All the wondrous story,
   Showing us His glory: [Refrain]

3 Sweetly echo the gospel call -
   Wonderful words of Life;
   Offer pardon and peace to all -
   Wonderful words of Life.
   Jesus, only Savior,
   Sanctify forever: [Refrain]

I've always loved this hymn. I was surprised to discover it only occurs in a 567 hymnals. Hymnary.org has this to say about his hymns: "Their popularity is far beyond their literary merits, and is mainly due to the simple melodies to which they are wedded." Can't say I disagree—at least on this hymn.
