Tell Me the Story of Jesus

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 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 God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth." Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. 2 Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that are past, How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore, He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor. (Refrain) 3 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, Writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid Him, Tell how He liveth again. Love in that story so tender Clearer than ever I see: Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me.

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

Author: Jennette Threlfall Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang; through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang; to Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to his breast, the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed 'mid an exultant crowd, the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud; the Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state, nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait. 3 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing, for Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven, our King; O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice, and in his blissful presence eternally rejoice!
