Tell me the stories of Jesus

.i



.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.



.2

First let me hear how the children

stood round His knee;

that I may know of His blessing

resting on me;

words full of kindness,

deeds full of grace,

signs of the love found

in Jesus' face.



.3

Tell me, in words full of wonder,

how rolled the sea,

tossing the boat in a tempest

on Galilee.

Jesus then doing

His Father's will,

ended the storm saying

'Peace, peace, be still.'



.4

Into the city I'd follow

the children's band,

waving a branch of the palm-tree

high in my hand;

worshipping Jesus,

yes, I would sing

loudest hosannas,

for He is King!



.5

Show me the scene in the garden,

of bitter pain;

and of the cross where my Saviour

for me was slain;

and, through the sadness,

help me to see

how Jesus suffered

for love of me.



.6

Gladly I'd hear of His rising

out of the grave,

living and strong and triumphant,

mighty to save:

and how He sends us

all men to bring

stories of Jesus,

Jesus, their King.
