Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

Verse 1

Tell me the stories of Jesus, God’s only Son, Coming from mansions in glory, The Holy One; Yielding His throne with the Father, To be earth’s child, Bearing His burdens with patience, So sweet! so mild! Wonderful His enduement, All others above; Filled with peace, the Divine One Was matchless in love.

Chorus

Stories of Jesus, Stories of Jesus, Tell me the stories of Jesus, My Saviour and King.

Verse 2

Tell me the stories of Jesus, My Lord and King; Glad will I be as I listen, My soul will sing; Tell me the dear stories often, I love to hear, And I would ask Him to tell me, If He were near; Tell of scenes by the wayside, Tales of the blue sea, Storms He stilled on the bosom Of loved Galilee.

Verse 3

Tell me the stories of Jesus; I long to know How He was touch’d by the needy, And moved by woe; Lifted despondent and fallen From sins untold, Raised from the grave one beloved, Death could not hold; How He soothed with compassion Hearts saddened by fear, Gave new life by His mercy To all who would hear.

Verse 4

Tell me the stories of Jesus; Oh, I would be Closely attent were He speaking Now unto me; Life has no guerdon more precious, Nor aught so fair, As Thee, my Saviour and Master, Whose love I’d share; Thee I’ll lovingly follow, Faithfully attend, Ever live in Thy presence, Redeemer and Friend.
