A-men. 2 Do we pass that Cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see thee wounded, bleeding, See thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for thee; May our eyes be ever turning To thy Cross of agony; Till in glory, parted never From the blessèd Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the Cross, the Crucified.

Peace and good tidings to earth.” Refrain: 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 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, rejected 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] Topics: Gospel Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:6 Used With Tune: STORY OF JESUS Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Tell_Me_the_Story_of_Jesus); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (132)

Fields are white and harvests waiting-- Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what God commands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!"
