Tell Me the Gospel Story

1 Tell me the story sweet,
Whisper it o’er and o’er,
I long to hear the words
Repeated evermore;
It doth within my heart
Tender emotions move;
The story sweet to me repeat
Of Jesus and His love.

Refrain:
Tell me the simple story,
It doth my heart so strangely move;
The story sweet to me repeat
Of Jesus and His love.

2 Tell me the story dear,
Breathing of life and peace,
No words can be to me
As comforting as these.
Like strains of holy song,
Wafted from heav’n above;
The story sweet to me repeat
Of Jesus and His love. [Refrain]

3 Tell me the story old,
Olden yet ever new;
The story of the Christ,
So beautiful and true.
As years are passing on,
More of God’s love I prove;
The story sweet to me repeat
Of Jesus and His love. [Refrain]
