Tell Me of the King

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1900
Composer: Howard Entwisle

Tell me o’er and o’er again

While the bells are ring­ing;

Tell me of the King of men

Earth’s re­demp­tion bring­ing;

Tell me of the town of old

Where a won­drous star of gold

Of the Sav­ior’s com­ing told;

Tell me of the King.

Tell the sto­ry of the King

Let the theme tri­umph­ant ring

He who came our peace to bring

Tell me of the King.

Tell me of the gild­ed rocks

Lit with sud­den glo­ry;

Tell me of the dream­ing flocks

And the Christ­mas sto­ry;

Tell me o’er and o’er again

How the watch­ing shep­herd men

Saw the star from vale and glen;

Tell me of the King.

Tell me how the an­gels sang

Joy to ev­ery na­tion;

Tell me how the chor­us rang

Over all cre­ation;

Tell

oh

tell the won­drous theme

Of the King of kings su­preme

Born the peo­ple to re­deem;

Tell me of the King.
