Lyrics There came to my heart a sweet message of love, When I was forsaken and sad; It came from above, like a heavenly dove; It bade me rejoice and be glad; New courage arose in my soul when I heard Of One who deliv'rance could bring; I bowed in contrition to Jesus my Lord; Now the wonderful story I sing. How sweet was the message that came to my heart, And filled me with sunshine and song! My hope did abound when the Savior I found; I think of Him all the day long, And following closely my Shepherd and Guide, He leads me where cool waters spring; My soul is refreshed as in Him I abide, And rejoicing, His praises I sing. And since I am His, and I know He is mine, How sweet is the peace He has giv'n! From morning till night He's my joy and delight, A blessed assurance of heav'n; In perfect submission I follow along, For He is my Savior and King; And when I have joined with the glorified throng, Then forever this theme I will sing. Chorus: Sweet, sweet old story, oft has been told; Wonderful story that never grows old.
