SS&S 856: There's a wonderful story I've heard long ago,
1. There's a wonderful story I've heard long ago,
'Tis called The sweet story of old;
I hear it so often, wherever I go
That same old story is told;
And I've thought it was strange that
so often they'd tell
That story as if it were new;
But I've found out the reason they
loved it so well —
That old, old story is true!
That old, old story is true,
That old, old story is true;
But I've found out the reason they loved it so
That old, old story is true! [well —
2. They told of a Saviour so lovely and pure,
That came to the earth to dwell,
To seek for His lost ones, and make them secure
From death and the power of hell;
That He was despised, and with
thorns He was crowned,
On the cross was extended to mView;
But oh, what sweet peace in my heart since I've found
That old, old story is true!
But oh, what sweet peace in my heart since
That old, old story is true 1 [I've found
3. He arose and ascended to heaven, we're told,
Triumphant o'er death and hell;
He's preparing a place in that city of gold,
Where loved ones for ever may dwell;
Where our kindred we'll meet, and
we'll nevermore part;
And oh, while I tell it to you,
It is peace to my soul, it is joy to my heart —
That old, old story is true!
It is peace to my soul, it is joy to my heart-
That old, old story is true.

Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
