Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Junior Songs #136 (1892) 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.
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 wisper,
Love paid the ransom for me. [Chorus]
