Tell Me The Story Of Jesus

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 254 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev'ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. Tell how the angels, in chorus, Sang as they welcomed His birth, "Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth." Chorus: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev'ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. 2 Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that are past, How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrows He bore, He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor. [Chorus] 3 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, Writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid Him, Tell how He liveth again. Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see: Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Tell me the story of Jesus]

Safe In The Arms Of Jesus

Chorus: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. 2 Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world’s temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears! [Chorus] 3 Jesus, my heart’s dear refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o’er; Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Safe in the arms of Jesus]

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 1,696 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand; Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand: From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases, And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign. Amen. Used With Tune: [From Greenland's icy mountains]

The Ninety And Nine

Author: E. C. Clephane Appears in 396 hymnals First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold— Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 2 "Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: "This of mine Has wandered away from me, And, although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters cross'd; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord pass'd thro', Ere He found His sheep that was lost: Out in the desert He heard its cry— Sick and helpless, and ready to die, Sick and helpless, and ready to die. 4 "Lord, whence are those blood-drops all the way That mark out the mountain's track?" "They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back": "Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?" "They are pierced tonight by many a thorn, They are pieced tonight by many a thorn." 5 But all thro' the mountains, thunder-riv'n, And up from the rocky steep, There rose a great cry to the gate of heav'n, "Rejoice! I have found my sheep!" And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice! for the Lord brings back His own! Rejoice! for the Lord brings back His own!" Used With Tune: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,334 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my aid shall be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue; And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by pray'r; Heav'n's eternal days before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Used With Tune: [Jesus, I my cross have taken]
