Author: George Murray Klepfer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14096 First Line: Tell the wonderful story of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Tell the wonderful story of Jesus; How from glory to earth He came; How He suffered and died to redeem us; How He lives evermore the same. Refrain: Tell the story of His love, Spread the tidings far and near; Tell the story of His love, Tell it out that the world may hear. 2 Would you lighten the hearts that are heavy? Drive the clouds from the darkened skies? Tell the story of grace all-sufficient, And the strength which His love supplies. [Refrain] 3 There is fullness of joy in His presence There is peace for the reconciled; Unto those who believe He is precious, Ever near to the trusting child.
