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,
And I shall fancy His blessing
resting on me;
Words full of kindness,
deeds full of grace,
All in the love-light
Of Jesus' face.
3 Into the city I'd follow,
the children's band,
Waving a branch of the palm tree
high in my hand;
One of His heralds,
yes, I would sing
Loudest hosannas,
"Jesus is King!" Topics: Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness; Jesus Christ His Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ His Triumphal Entry; Praise Scripture: Acts 8:35 Languages: English Tune Title: STORIES OF JESUS
