Lovingly, ten­der­ly, tell the sweet sto­ry,
Of the dear Sav­ior whose in­fi­nite love
Brought Him to earth from the hea­ven­ly glo­ry,
Seeking God’s ten­der com­pas­sion to prove.

Refrain

Tell the sweet sto­ry again and again;
Let all who hear it the sto­ry re­peat;
Lovingly, ten­der­ly, swell the re­frain,
Till all of the ran­somed in glo­ry shall meet.

Lovingly, ten­der­ly, tell the sweet story,
Till ev­ery lost one the mes­sage has heard.
Angels look down from the hea­ven­ly glo­ry;
They would re­joice to repeat the glad word.

Refrain

Earnestly, faith­ful­ly, tell the sweet sto­ry;
Dear ones around thee are dy­ing in sin;
Jesus looks down from the hea­ven­ly glo­ry,
Watching thee ga­ther the wan­der­ers in.

Refrain

Prayerfully, pa­tient­ly, tell the sweet st­ory,
Earnestly seek­ing the lost ones to win;
Leading them up to those man­sions of glo­ry
Christ hath pre­pared for the ran­somed from sin.
