Frances (Fanny) Crosby was one of the most famous American hymn writer. Despite being blind, the words she wrote showed that she had a spiritual sight far beyond that of most. Her passion was to know her Savior, and this hymn (tune written by John Sweney) is a prayer for deepening of that everlasting relationship.
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels, in chorus, sang as they welcomed His birth,
“Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth.”
