Tell me the Story slowly,
 * That I may take it in—

That wonderful Redemption,
 * for sin!

Tell me the Story often,
 * For I forget so soon!

The "early dew" of morning
 * Has passed away at noon!

Tell me the Story softly,
 * With earnest tones and grave;

Remember, I'm the sinner
 * Whom came to save.

Tell me the Story always,
 * If you would really be,

In any time of trouble,
 * A comforter to me.
