Tell the Blessèd Story (Gardner)

Our Re­deem­er died to save us

On the cross of Cal­va­ry

Suffered there that He might pur­chase

Endless life for you and me;

Tell to all the world the sto­ry

Of His won­drous sac­ri­fice;

Tell them of His ris­en glo­ry

King of earth and para­dise.

Tell the bless­èd sto­ry to the sons of men;

Tell the bless­èd sto­ry o’er and o’er again.

Tell of Je­sus on the mount­ain

Speaking to the mul­ti­tude

Preaching there the bless­èd Gos­pel

While He gave them earth­ly food;

Tell how winds and waves ob­eyed Him

Owning thus His ma­jes­ty

When He stilled the an­gry tem­pest

On the Sea of Ga­li­lee.

Tell them all the words of com­fort

Spoken by His lov­ing voice

Of His ten­der con­so­la­tion

Bidding trou­bled hearts re­joice;

Tell them of the liv­ing wa­ters

Flowing to re­fresh the soul

And the gold­en crown that waits us

When at last we reach the goal.
