Representative Text

1 Lovingly, tenderly, tell the sweet story,
Of the dear Savior whose infinite love
Brought Him to earth from the heavenly glory,
Seeking God’s tender compassion to prove.

Refrain:
Tell the sweet story again and again;
Let all who hear it the story repeat;
Lovingly, tenderly, swell the refrain,
Till all of the ransomed in glory shall meet.

2 Lovingly, tenderly, tell the sweet story,
Till every lost one the message has heard.
Angels look down from the heavenly glory;
They would rejoice to repeat the glad word. [Refrain]

3 Earnestly, faithfully, tell the sweet story;
Dear ones around thee are dying in sin;
Jesus looks down from the heavenly glory,
Watching thee gather the wanderers in. [Refrain]

4 Prayerfully, patiently, tell the sweet story,
Earnestly seeking the lost ones to win;
Leading them up to those mansions of glory
Christ hath prepared for the ransomed from sin. [Refrain]
