Featured A Great verse of a Traditional Hymn

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.
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.”
4. Tell how He’s gone back to heaven,
   Up to the right hand of God:
   How He is there interceding
   While on this earth we must trod.
   Tell of the sweet Holy Spirit
   He has poured out from above;
   Tell how He’s coming in glory
   For all the saints of His love... This is one from Fanny Crosby of the 9,000 they have found, only God could give this gift of verse to a blind Woman... The words are priceless... Brother Glen

 

I Am Resolved
by James H. Fillmore and Palmer Hartsough

I am resolved to enter the kingdom, leaving the paths of sin;
Friends may oppose me, foes may beset met, Still I will enter in;
I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free,
Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee
