Hymnal: The Little Seraph #56 (1874) First Line: I love to tell the story Refrain First Line: Oh, yes, I love to tell the story Lyrics: 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:
Oh yes, I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my happy 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] Tune Title: I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY
