Author: William H. Parker (1845-1929) Meter: 8.4.8.4.5.4.5.4 Appears in 154 hymnals Topics: Book Three: Children's Hymns and Songs Lyrics: 1 Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; Things I would ask Him to tell me If He were here; Scenes by the wayside, Tales of the sea, Stories of Jesus, Tell them to me. 2 First let me hear how the children Stood round His knee; And I shall fancy His blessing Resting on me: Words full of kindness, Deeds full of grace, All in the love-light Of Jesus’ face. 3 Into the city I’d follow The children’s band, Waving a branch of the palmtree High in my hand; One of His heralds, Yes, I would sing Loudest hosannas! Jesus is King! 4 Tell me, in accents of wonder, How rolled the sea, Tossing the boat in a tempest On Galilee! And how the Master, Ready and kind, Chided the billows, And hushed the wind. 5 Tell how the sparrow that twitters On yonder tree, And the sweet meadow-side lily May speak to me— Give me their message, For I would hear How Jesus taught us Our Father's care. 6 Show me that scene in the garden, Of bitter pain; And of the cross where my Saviour For me was slain— Sad ones or bright ones, So that they be Stories of Jesus, Tell them to me. Amen. Scripture: Mark 10:13 Used With Tune: STORIES OF JESUS

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson (1735-1790) Appears in 2,209 hymnals Topics: Hymns and Songs The Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace; Streams of mercy never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount, O fix me on it. Mount of God’s unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by thy help I’m come; And I hope, by thy good pleasure, Surely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand’ring from the fold of God. He, to save my soul from danger, Interposed His precious blood. 3 O, to grace how great a debtor, Daily I’m constrained to be; Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it, Seal it from thy courts above. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
