Tell Me the Story

When sor­row and trou­ble like sea bil­lows roll

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus;

When ev­il as­sails me and doubts fill my soul

Tell me the story of Je­sus.

Tell it to me

tell it to me

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus;

Tell it to me.

When wea­ry from la­bor I rest by the way

Tell me the story of Je­sus;

It strength­ens my pur­pose and brigh­tens the day

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus.

In times of af­flict­ion

when suf­fer­ing from pain

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus;

It soft­ens my pil­low

re­vives me again;

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus.

When life here is ov­er and time is no more

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus;

O tell it again on the beau­ti­ful shore;

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus.
