358. Tell Me the Story of Jesus
8.7.
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,
Spoke as they welcomed His birth:
"Glory to God in the highest;
Peace and good tidings to earth."
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,
Thus was His service begun;
Tell how through faith and obedience
Victory o’er Satan He won.
Tell of the years of His labors,
Tell of the sorrows He bore;
He was despised and afflicted,
Homeless, rejected and poor.
3
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,
Suffering in sorrow and pain;
Tell of the grave where they laid Him;
Tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender,
This is the story most precious —
Love paid the ransom for me.
