99. Tell me more of Jesus

1 O tell me more of Jesus,
Of him I long to know,
Why did he come from heaven
To help us here below?
Why did he come from heaven
To help us here below?
He saw us poor and needy,
By guilt and sin oppressed,
He came to us a Savior,
And by him all are blessed,
He came to us a Savior,
And by him all are blessed,
And by him all are blessed.
And by him all are blessed.

Refrain:
O Jesus, precious Jesus, let me love thee more and more,
Guide me, blessed Savior,
Guide me to the heav’nly shore,
Guide me to the heav’nly shore.

2 But why is he so loving?
‘Tis more than I can tell;
Can he forgive and love us
When we so oft rebel?
Can he forgive and love us
When we so oft rebel?
His love is all pervading,
‘Tis bounteous and ‘tis free,
He came to us a Savior,
He came for you and me,
He came to us a Savior,
He came for you and me,
He came for you and me,
He came for you and me. [Refrain]
