Tell, O Tell the Wondrous Story

Composer: William Mason, 1899

Tell

O tell the won­drous sto­ry

Of our blest Re­deem­er’s birth

How He left His home in glo­ry

To re­deem the lost of earth.

Tell

O! tell the bless­èd sto­ry

Of His gra­cious love so free

Glory

in the high­est

glo­ry

Be to Christ eter­nal­ly.

Tell

O tell the won­drous sto­ry

Of sal­va­tion full and free;

Jesus came

the Prince of Glo­ry—

Lived and died for you and me.

Choirs of an­gels told His com­ing

To the shep­herds on the plains

While they list­ened mute with won­der—

Listened to the wel­come strains.

Let us then re­peat the mes­sage

Tell

O tell it far and wide

Of a ran­som for the sin­ner

Of a Sav­ior cru­ci­fied.
