152 Tell Me the Story of Jesus

[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.

[C]
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 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.

[C]
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story most precious
Sweetest that ever was heard.

[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.

[C]
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story most precious
Sweetest that ever was heard.
