Tell me the stories of Jesus

Author: William Henry Parker, 1845-1929 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #668 (2010) Meter: 8.4.8.4.5.4.5.4 Lyrics: 1 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. 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 Jesu’s face. 3 Tell how the sparrow that twitters on yonder tree and the sweet meadow-side lily may speak to me; give me their message, for I would hear how Jesus taught us our Father's care. 4 Tell me, in accents of wonder, how rolled the sea tossing the boat in a tempest On Galilee; and how the Master, ready and kind, chided the billows, and hushed the wind. 5 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! 6 Show me that scene, in the garden, of bitter pain; and of the cross where my Saviour for me was slain: sad ones or bright ones, so that they be, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.
