Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

William H. Parker (1885) • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27

Verse 1

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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

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!"
