Tell Me the Story of Jesus

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 245 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Solos Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart evry 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 ev'ry 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 sorrow 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] Used With Tune: [Tell me the story of Jesus]

Ten Thousand Times

Author: Rev. H. Alford Appears in 439 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: Ten thousand times ten thousand Lyrics: 1. Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light. 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2. What rush of hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! The ringing of a thousand harps Proclaims the triumph high. O day for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3. O then what raptured, greetings On Canaan's happy shore! What knitting severed friendship where Death partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late: Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4. Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain, Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy pow'r and reign; Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come!

What tho' no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found! In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Used With Tune: CREATION
