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.
Hymn 759
-2
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.
Hymn 759

3
Tell me, in accents of wonder,
how rolled the sea,
Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee;
And how the Maker, ready and kind,
Chided the billows, and hushed the wind.
Hymn 759

4
Into the city I’d follow
the children’s band,
Waving a branch of the palm tree
high in my hand;
One of His heralds, yes, I would sing
Loudest hosannas, “Jesus is King!”
Hymn 759

5
Show me that scene in the garden,
of bitter pain;
Show me the cross where my Savior
for me was slain;
Sad ones or bright ones, so that they be
Stories of Jesus—tell them to me.
