Tell Me the Stories of Jesus - 190

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.

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.

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!”
