O BROTHER, HAVE YOU TOLD HOW THE LORD FORGAVE
1. O brother, have you told how the
Lord forgave?
Let us hear you tell it over once
again;
Thy coming to the cross where He
died to save,
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
Are you walking now in His blessed
light?
Are you cleansed from every guilty
stain?
Is He your joy by day and your song
by night?
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
Chorus:
Let us hear you tell it over once
again, tell it over once again;
Tell the sweet and blessed story,
It will help you on to glory-
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
2. When toiling up the way, was the
Saviour there?
Let us hear you tell it over once
again;
Did Jesus bear you up in His tender
care?
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
Never have you found such a friend
as He,
Who can help you >midst the toil
and pain;
Oh, all the world should hear what
He’s done for thee;
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
3. Was ever on your tongue such a
blessed theme?
Let us hear you tell it over once
again;
>Tis ever sweeter far than the
sweetest dream-
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
There are aching hearts in the
world’s great throng,
Who have sought for rest, and all in
vain;
Hold Jesus up to them by your word
and song;
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
4. The battles you have fought and
victories won,
Let us hear you tell it over once
again;
>Twill help them on the way who
have just begun-
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
We are striving now with the hosts
of sin,
Soon with Christ our Saviour we
shall reign;
Ye ransomed of the Lord, try a soul
to win;
Let us hear you tell it over once
again.
