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;
Sinner, list to the loving call,
Wonderful words of life;
All so freely given,
Wooing us to heaven. [Refrain]
3. Sweetly echo the gospel call,
Wonderful words of life;
Offer pardon and peace to all,
Wonderful words of life;
Jesus, only Savior,
The hymn "Sing Them Over Again to Me" was written by Eliza E. Hewitt in 1887. Hewitt was a prolific American hymn writer and teacher who wrote many hymns focused on the themes of faith, hope, and the power of God's Word.
This hymn expresses a deep desire to hear the truths of the gospel repeatedly, as they provide comfort and inspiration. The lyrics encourage believers to reflect on and be reminded of the joy and assurance found in God's promises. The theme of repeating the gospel message aligns with Hewitt's personal belief in the power of Scripture to uplift and strengthen the faith of the believer.
The hymn has been cherished for its simple, yet profound, reminder of the importance of hearing and meditating on the Word of God. It has often been used in worship settings where the focus is on the gospel's power to transform lives.
