Tell Me the Story of Jesus

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 223 hymnals 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. [Refrain] Topics: The Church at Worship Proclamation; Jesus Christ-Life and Ministry; Proclamation Used With Tune: STORY OF JESUS

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, unuttered or expressed, the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. 3 Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice, returning from their way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, they pray!" 4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air, their watchword at the gates of death; they enter heaven with prayer. 5 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way, the path of prayer You also trod; Lord, teach us how to pray!
