Tell Me the Stories of Jesus
Author: William H. Parker, 1845-1929 Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions Childhood First Line: Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear Lyrics: 1 Tell me the stories of Jesus
I love to hear;
Things I would ask Him to tell me
If He were here;
Scenes by the wayside,
Tales of the sea,
Stories of Jesus,
Tell them to me.
2 First let me hear how the children
Stood round His knee;
And I shall fancy His blessing
Resting on me:
Words full of kindness,
Deeds full of grace,
All in the love-light
Of Jesus' face.
3 Into the city I'd follow,
The children's band,
Waving a branch of the palm-tree
High in my hand;
One of His heralds,
Yes, I would sing
Loudest hosannas!
Jesus is King.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear]

Felice Giardini
1716 - 1796 Person Name: Felice de Giardini, 1716-1796 Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions Ministry of Music Composer of "TRINITY (ITALIAN HYMN)" in The Hymnal Felice Giardini, born in Italy. When young, he studied singing, harpsichord, and violin. He became a composer and violin virtuoso. By age 12 he was playing in theatre orchestras. His most instructive lesson: While playing a solo passage during an opera, he decided to show off his skills by improvising several bravura variations that the composer, Jommelli, had not written . Although the audience applauded loudly, Jomelli, who happened to be there, went up and slapped Giardini in the face. He learned a lesson from that. He toured Europe as a violinist, considered one of the greatest musical artists of his time. He served as orchestra leader and director of the Italian Opera in London, giving concerts. He tried to run a theatre in Naples, but encountered adversity. He went to Russia, but had little fortune there, where he died.
