Lovingly, Tenderly

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.

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.

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.

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.
