Sheet music
- 1Tell me the stories of JesusI love to hear;Things I would ask Him to tell meIf He were here;Scenes by the wayside, Tales of the sea,Stories of Jesus, Tell them to me.
- 2First let me hear how the childrenStood round His knee;And I shall fancy His blessingResting on me:Words full of kindness, Deeds full of grace,All in the love-light Of Jesus’ face.
- 3Into the city I’d followThe children’s band,Waving a branch of the palm treeHigh in my hand;One of His heralds. Yes, I would singLoudest hosannas! Jesus is King.Amen.
