Additional Hymn · Hymn 900
Tell me the story of Jesus
“That thou mightest know the certainty of these Things”. Lk. 1:4
1.
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
Sweetest that ever was heard
Tell how the angels in chorus
Sang, as they welcome His birth
“Glory to God in the highest
Peace and good tidings to earth”
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry 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 He was tried and was tempted
Yet was triumphant at last
Tell of the years of His labours
Tell of the sorrows He bore
He was despised and afflicted
Homeless, rejected and poor
3.
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him
Dying 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
Amen
