15066. Tell The Story Of Jesus

1 Go tell the story of Jesus
To some poor sin-sick soul;
Think of the time you heard it,
And how it made you whole.
It drove away the darkness
Of night, wherein you lay;
It brought to you the glory
And light of perfect day.

Refrain:
Go tell the story of Jesus
To some poor sin-sick soul;
Think of the time you heard it,
And how it made you whole.

2 Go tell the story of Jesus
To strangers you may meet,
And dwell upon His mercy
In accents rich and sweet;
It may be they’ll forget you,
In busy toil and care;
But they’ll not forget the story
You whispered in their ear. [Refrain]

3 Go tell the story of Jesus
To those who have not heard,
And make it sound as lovely
As the song of some sweet bird;
Tell with a glowing rapture
His tender words of love;
And tell them of the beauty
Of that blest home above. [Refrain]

4 Go tell the story of Jesus
To people great and small;
Remember He, the Savior,
Gave up His life for all;
Tell it when death’s cold billows
Are underneath your feet,
’Twill be the only story
Heard in the golden street. [Refrain]
