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 its true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else would do.
Refrain:
I love to tell the story;
I'll sing this theme in glory
And tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.
2 I love to tell the story:
How 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]
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.
I'll sing the old, old story
That I have loved so long. [Refrain]
