Lyrics

O tell me that beau­ti­ful sto­ry,
Of Je­sus, His work and His word;
O tell me that beau­ti­ful sto­ry,
Much sweet­er than mor­tal e’er heard;
Sing me the song of re­demp­tion,
Sing of that ci­ty of gold;
O sing till my soul to the mu­sic
Of sweet love’s re­deem­ing un­fold.

Refrain

O talk to me, sing to me, teach me,
I must hear it again and again;
Till my life is hid with the bless­èd,
Till for me it is Yea and Amen.

O teach me the way of the Mas­ter,
O show me the path­way to trace;
My feet in the vale have grown wea­ry,
So far from the beau­ti­ful place;
Sing of the way that He walked in,
As an ex­am­ple for me;
The les­sons He taught in Ju­dea,
In Ca­na and sweet Ga­li­lee.
