TELL ME THE STORIES OF JESUS

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.

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 lovelight

Of Jesus' face.

Into the city I'd follow,

There take my stand,

Waving a branch of the palm tree

High in my hand;

One of his heralds,

Yes, I would sing

Loudest hosannas,

Jesus is King!
