1. 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.
(Chorus) I love to tell the story,
‘Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love.
2. 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.
3. 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.
