Lyrics
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.
Refrain.
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;
more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
of all our 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.
Refrain.
I love to tell the story,
’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.
3. 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.
Refrain.
I love to tell the story,
’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.
4. 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.
Refrain.
I love to tell the story,
’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.
