The Jewel ‎#39

39. I Love to Tell the Story

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 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;
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]
