Tell Me the Story of Jesus
FANNY J. CROSBY JNO. R. Sweney
1. Tell me the sto -ry of Je -sus; Write on my heart ev -'ry word.
Tell me the sto -ry most pre -cious,
Sweet-est that ev -er was heard.
Tell how the an -gels, in cho -rus,
Sang as they wel-comed His birth:
"Glo -ry to God in the high -est!
Peace and good ti -dings to earth."
CHORUS
2. Fast -ing a -lone in the des -ert, Tell of the days that are past:
How for our sins He was tempt -ed, Yet was tri -um -phant at last.
Tell of the years of His la -bor; Tell of the sor -row He bore.
He was de -spised and af -fiict -ed,
Home -less, re -ject -ed, and poor.
CHORUS
3. Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,
Writh-ing in an -guish and pain;
Tell of the grave where they laid Him; Tell how He liv -eth a -gain.
Love in that sto -ry so ten -der Clear -er than ev -er I see.
Stay, let me weep while you whis -per Love paid the ran -som for me.
CHORUS
Tell me the sto -ry of Je -sus; Write on my heart ev-'ry; word.
Tell me the sto -ry most pre -cious, Sweet -est that ev -er was heard.
