Tune: | TELL THE STORY |
Composer: | W. G. Fischer |
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
