I love to tell the story

I love to tell the story

Of unseen things above

Of Jesus and His glory

Of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story

Because I know ’tis true;

It satisfies my longings

As nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story

’Twill be my theme in glory

To tell the old

old story

of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story;

More wonderful it seems

Than all the golden fancies

Of all my golden dreams

I love to tell the story

It did so much for me;

And that is just the reason

I tell it now to thee.

I love to tell the story;

’Tis pleasant to repeat

What seems each time I tell it

More wonderfully sweet.

I love to tell the story;

For some have never heard

The message of salvation

From God’s own holy Word.

I love to tell the story;

For those who know it best

Seem hungering and thirsting

To hear it like the rest.

And when

in scenes of glory

I sing the new

new song

’Twill be the old

old story

That I have loved so long.
