Yes, Lord! ‎#450

450. 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 '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]

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]

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]
