Tell me the old, old story

for I am weak and weary,
and helpless and defiled.
Refrain:
Tell me the old, old story;
tell me the old, old story;
tell me the old, old story
of Jesus and his love.

that I may take it in,
that wonderful redemption,
God's remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often,
for I forget so soon;
the early dew of morning
has passed away at noon. [Refrain]
3 Tell me the story softly,
with earnest tones and grave;
remember, I'm the sinner
whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the story always,
if you would really be,
in any time of trouble,
a comforter to me. [Refrain]
4 Tell me the same old story,
when you have cause to fear
that this world's empty glory
is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world's glory
is dawning on my soul,
tell me the old, old story:
Christ Jesus makes thee whole. [Refrain] Topics: Christian Nurture / Teaching; Communication / Language; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Healer and Teacher; Love; Redemption; Sin / Sinner; The Bible Scripture: Hosea 6:4 Used With Tune: EVANGEL

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-1874 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 621 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the struggle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 Oh let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within,
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
oh speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
oh speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be,
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
oh give me grace to follow
my Saviour and my friend.

in humble hope our charge resign:
when the good Shepherd shall appear,
in you we rest, O Love divine.
