Tune: | I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY |
Composer: | W. G. Fischer, by per |
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 it's true;
It satisfies my longings,
As nothing else would 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!
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
