"Tell Me the Story of Jesus" Lyrics

(Fanny J. Crosby - Sweney)

(Tell me the story of Jesus)
(Sweetest that ever was heard.)

Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every 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 Thy in the highest
Peace and the tidings to earth.

Tell me the story of Jesus
Sweetest that ever was heard.

Tell of the cross where they nailed him
Right in the anguish and pain
Tell of the grave where they laid him
Tell how he lived it again.

(Tell me the story so tender)
(Clearer than ever I see)
(Still let me weep while you whisper)
(Love great and grandsome for me.)

Tell me the story of Jesus
Sweetest that ever was heard...
