A beloved ‘primary’ song arranged for solo ukulele, or with vocals and chords (duet or trio). You can see/listen to piano sheet music in the key of Bb at Tell Me the Stories of Jesus at LDS.org

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. Oh, let me hear how the children stood round his knee.
I shall imagine his blessings resting on me;
Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace,
All in the love-light of Jesus’ face.

3. Tell me, in accents of wonder, how rolled the sea,
Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee!
And how the Master, ready and kind,
Chided the billows and hushed the wind.

Words: W. H. Parker, 1845–1929
Music: Frederic A. Challinor, 1866–1952
Arr.: M. Ryan Taylor


Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
