Author: William H. Parker, 1845-1929 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #331 (2001) Meter: 8.4.8.4.5.4.5.4 Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal Lyrics: 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!"
