LyicsHow sweetly flowed the gospel sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
When list'ning thousands gathered round,
And joy an gladness filled the place.
From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke,
To heaven he led his followers' way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unvailing an immortal day.
"Come, wanderers, to my Father's home;
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest!"
Yes, sacred teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest.
