Mother Tell Me the Story Lyrics
This song is published in the Children’s Songbook Page #204
You can find Mother Tell Me the Story sheet music here.
Words and music: Janice Kapp Perry, b. 1938
Verse 1: (Sung by Child)
Mother*, tell me the story that I love to hear.
Tell me of heaven and why I came here.
Mother, tell how you love me, and gently speak,
And then I’ll go to sleep.
Verse 2: (Sung by Mother)
Child, I am here.
Can you feel that heaven is near?
Sleep, sleep; a lovewatch I’ll keep
To protect you through the night.
Verse 3: (Sung by Child)
Mother, tell me of Jesus and how he is near.
Tell how he loves me, and I will not fear.
Mother, tell how his Spirit brings comfort and peace,
And then I’ll go to sleep.
Verse 4: (Sung by Mother)
Child, he is there.
In his love you never need fear.
Sleep, sleep; a lovewatch he’ll keep
To protect you through the night.
*Alternate words: Father
