Tell me the Story of Jesus

Appears in 244 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus Write on my heart every word, Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard; Tell how the angels in chorus Sang as they welcomed his birth,-- Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth. Chorus: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word, Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. 2 Fasting, alone in the desert, Tell of the days that he passed, How for our sins he was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last; Tell of the years of his labor, Tell of the sorrows he bore, He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor. [Chorus] 3 Tell of the cross where they nailed him, Writhing in anguish and pain, Tell of the grave where they laid him, Tell how he liveth again; Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see; Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me. [Chorus] Text Sources: From "The Quiver"
