Tell the Story

Representative Text

1 Tell the blessed story ev’rywhere you go;
Spread the joyful tidings thro’ this world of woe;
Jesus has redeem’d us from the pow’r of sin,
And He comes to live His glorious life within.

Refrain:
Tell, O tell the story of the Savior’s love,
And the pow’r and glory of our Lord abode;
Tell the anxious pris’ner Christ will set him free,
For each longing captive there is liberty.

2 Tell the sad and lonely Christ their grief will share;
For the heavy laden He will burdens bear;
Vict’ry He will give to all who are oppress’d;
For the tried and tempted He has glorious rest. [Refrain]

3 Tell the faint and weary there is pow’r in prayer;
Tell the poor and needy of His loving care;
Tell to all the blessings that His love will bring,
And the joy of serving Jesus Christ our King. [Refrain]
