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 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
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 Jesus’ face
3
Tell me in accents of wonder how rolled the sea
Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee
And how the Maker ready and kind
Chided the billows and hushed the wind
4
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
5
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
6
Show me that scene in the garden of bitter pain
Show me the cross where my Savior for me was slain
Sad ones or bright ones so that they be
Stories of Jesus tell them to me
