Author: William H. Parker Hymnal: The Children's Hymnbook #104 (1962) Hymnal Title: The Children's Hymnbook 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 Tell me in accents of wonder How rolled the sea, Tossing the boat in a tempest On Galilee; And how the Master, Ready and kind, Chided the billows And hushed the wind. 4 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! Topics: Jesus on Earth Languages: English Tune Title: KILGETTY

Early in life he began to write verses, and having joined a General Baptist church and become interested in Sunday schools was led to compose hymns for use at anniversaries. Three of these were introduced by his pastor, the Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A., into The School Hymnal, 1880, and passed into The Children's Book of Praise, 1881, and other collections. In 1882 Mr. Parker published a small volume entitled, The Princess Alice and Other Poems. His hymns in common use are:—1. "Children know but little.” (God’s condescension to the Little Ones) 2. “Holy Spirit, hear us!” (Hymn to the Holy Ghost). 3. “Jesus, I so often need thee” (A Child’s Prayer to Christ). [Rev. W. R.
