105. My Song

1 There is a song I love to sing,
So old yet ever new;
It tells the story of the Cross,
Of love so pure and true.

Refrain:
My song tells the old, old story
Of the Cross on Calvary
My song tells the love of Jesus,
And His grace and pardon free.

2 There is a song I love to sing,
Whene’er my heart is sad,
None other gives such comfort sweet,
None makes my heart so glad. [Refrain]

3 There is a song I love to sing,
When shadows cross my way;
My strength and courage it renews,
It gives me joy each day. [Refrain]

4 There is a song, and when I’m called
To yonder golden shore,
This sweet old story of the Cross,
I’ll sing it o’er and o’er. [Refrain]
