You can find the words by googling "Tell Me His Name Again". I believe it is the first listing website that appears. It plays the music, but does not vocalize the words. However, the words are written out for you to read. I first heard this sone probably 50 years ago. I have loved it since. The way I heard the story was as follows: Many years ago a missionary to China told how a very old Chinese woman attended one of his services and listened to the story of Jesus. As the invitation plea was given, she opened her heart and soul to the Saviour. After the service, she traveled back over the dusty hot road to her village home. After many days her heart was eager to learn more about this life, so she set out to find the missionary. Several days passed as she searched and searched. Finally, she located the missionary. Walking up to him, she said, "I know He saved me, and He made me happy inside, but would you tell me His name again?" As a result of that story the following song was written by George Bernard: "Oh, tell me His name again, And sing me that sweet refrain Of Him who in love came down from above To die on the Cross of shame. The Story my heart has stirred The sweetest I've ever heard; It banishes fear, it brings hope and cheer, Oh, tell me His name again.
