If you would rescue a soul from its sin,
Tell the sweet story of Je­sus;
If for God’s king­dom a soul you would win,
Tell the sweet sto­ry of love.

Refrain

Tell the sweet sto­ry of love,
Jesus will smile from above;
Tell the sweet story, the beau­ti­ful story,
The won­der­ful story of love.

If you would com­fort a sor­row­ing heart,
Tell the sweet story of Je­sus;
Joy ov­er­flow­ing His peace will im­part,
Tell the sweet sto­ry of love.

Refrain

If you would kin­dle love’s beau­ti­ful flame,
Tell the sweet sto­ry of Je­sus;
In dark­ened hearts that have ne’er heard His name,
Tell the sweet sto­ry of love.

Refrain

Would you make earth like a hea­ven below?
Tell the sweet sto­ry of Je­sus;
Lovingly, gent­ly, wher­ev­er you go,
Tell the sweet sto­ry of love.
