Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Temptation Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every 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 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) Scripture: Isaiah 53:3 Used With Tune: STORY OF JESUS

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practise on the mind; With flatt'ring looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The aged and the young; And while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.
