Tell Me the Story of Jesus
Author: Fanny J Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #646 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Topics: Gospel Hymns Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart ev'ry 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."
Refrain:
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 are past,
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, dejected and poor. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: STORY OF JESUS

To help me on to God? [Refrain]

Supported by Thy word. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: WHEN THE BATTLE'S OVER

Smile on our homage, and our vows;
While with a grateful heart we share
These pledges of our Savior's care.
2 The Savior, when to heaven he rose
In splendid triumph o'er his foes
Scatter'd his gifts on men below,
And wide his royal bounties flow,
3 Hence sprung th' apostles' honor'd name,
Sacred beyond heroic fame;
In lowlier form to bless our eyes,
Pastors from hence, and teachers rise.
4 From Christ their varied gifts derive,
And fed by Christ their graces live:
While guarded by his potent hand,
'Midst all the rage of hell they stand.
5 So shall the bright succession run
Thro' the last courses of the sun;
While unborn churches by their care
Shall rise and flourish large and fair,
6 Jesus our Lord, their hearts shall know,
The spring, whence all these blessing flow:
Pastors and people shout his praise
Thro' the long round of endless days.

May his rich mercy taste;

Unto the gospel feast.
3 None are excluded thence, but those
Who do themselves exclude;
Welcome the learned and polite,
The ignorant and rude.
4 Come then ye men of every name,
Of every rank and tongue;
What you are willing to receive,
Doth unto you belong.

In raptures, or in woe.

Lord, how should we appear!

Their own Redeemer see,
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

The chearful Sun makes Haste to rise,
And like a Giant doth rejoice
To run his Journey through the Skies.

And, without Weariness or Rest,
Round the whole Earth he flies and shines;
3 Oh, like the Sun, May I fulfil
Th' appointed Duties of the Day,
With ready Mind and active Will
March on, and keep my heav'nly Way.
[4 But I shall rove and lose the Race,
If God, my Sun, should disappear,
And leave me in this World's wild Maze,
To follow ev'ry wand'ring Star.

Enlight'ning our beclouded Eyes;
Thy Threat'nings just, thy Promise sure,
Thy Gospel makes the Simple wise.]

And then receive me to thy Bliss;
All my Desires and Hopes beside
Are faint and cold compar'd with this. Scripture: Psalm 19:5 Languages: English

Nu kjære menige Kristenhed
Hymnal: Kirkesalmebog #9 (1893) Topics: Sædvanlige Salmer til Høimesse; Common Hymns for High Mass; Evangelium; The Gospel Lyrics: 1 Nu kjære menige Kristenhed,
Du komme med Lyst og Glæde,
At vi forsamled' i Herrens Fred
Kan takke vor Gud, og kvæde
Om Naaden, som han mod os har gjort,
Det Frelsens Underverk sandt og stort,
Dyrt haver han det og kostet.
2 I Djævelens Vold jeg, fangen laa,
Fordømt saa var jeg til Døde,
Og mine Synder de laa mig paa,
Jeg havde stor Angest og Møde,
Jeg sank og dybere altid ned,
Der var ei Raad eller Salighed,
I Synden var jeg undfangen.
3 Og mine Gjerninger hjulpe ei
Til Døden at overvinde,
Den stærke Djævel han sagde nei,
Han lader sig ikke binde
Af mig eller noget Kreatur,
Jeg var i hans Vold af min Natur,
Fordømt til den evige Pine.
4 Der var og ingeni Verden al,
Mig arme forløse kunde,
Jeg veed ret aldrig, hvorhen jeg skal,
Maa gange til Helveds Grunde,
Alt for Guds Brede mig over er,
Og Syndens Byrde, som tungt jeg bær,
Forvist saa maa jeg fortabes.
5 Da ynkedes Gud i Evighed
Ved denne min store Vaade,
Han tænkte paa sin Barmhjertighed
Og vilde mig Hjælpen raade;
Han vendte faderlig Hu til mig,
Og kosted derpaa foruden Svig
Det kjæreste, som han aatte.
6 Han talede til sin kjære Søn:
Det er nu Tid af forbarme,
Saa gak da, min Hjertens Krone skjøn,
At frelse og fri den arme!
Du løse ham ud af Syndens Nød
Og knuse for ham den haarde Død
Og lade ham med dig leve!
7 Guds Søn sin Fader lydagtig var,
Han kom hid til mig paa Jorden,
Og fød af en Jomfru reen og klar,
Mind Broder arm er han vorden.
Saa lønlig førte han her sin Magt,
Leed alskens Nød, for det vor hans Agt,
At tage Djævelen fangen.
8 Guds Søn han sagde: Hold dig til mig,
Saa skal du ei Skade lide,
Jeg ganske giver mig hen for dig,
Og stander for dig at stride;
Thi nu er jeg din, og du er min,
Og hvor jeg er, tager jeg dig ind,
Den Fiende skal os ei stille.
9 Mit Blod det rinder paa Jorden ud,
Og Livet det maa jeg miste,
Det sker til Soning for dig hos Gud,
Derpaa skal du tro og trøste;
Uskyldig lider jeg her din Dom,
Mit Liv dog kaster al Døden om,–
Og saa der din Frelse vundet.
10 Til Himmels igjen, til Fader min,
Jeg far fra dette Elende,
Der vil jeg være Forbeder din,
Den Hellige Aand dig sende,
Som trøste i Trængsel skal din Sjæl
Og lære dig mig at kjende vel,
Og dig i al Sandhed lede.
11 Hvad jeg paa Jorden har lært og gjort,
Det gjøre du skal og lære,
Da kommer Guds Rige herligt, stort,
Hans hellige Navn til Ære.
Men vogt dig for Menn'skelærdoms Bud,
Som skjæmmer Guds signed' Sandheb ud!
Der lægger jeg dig paa Hjerte.
* * *
12 Thi vil vi prise af Hjertens Grund
Og love foruden Ende
Gud Fader, at han af sin Miskund
Sin Søn vilde til os sende,
Og nedslog i Jesu Kristi Død
Synd, Helvede og al Døbsens Nød.
Gud lade os dette kjende! Languages: Norwegian
Nu kjære menige Kristenhed
