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. 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.
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.
