Author: Katherine Hankey Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #521 (1961) Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Lyrics: 1 Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love:
Tell me the story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.
Refrain:
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Of Jesus and his love.
2 Tell me the story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember, I'm the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save:
Tell me the story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me. [Refrain]
3 Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear:
Yes, and when that world's glory
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story,
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole." [Refrain] Topics: Christ Love and Grace of; Christian Life God's Refreshing Grace; Evangelistic; Gospel Excellency of; Grace Refreshing; Longing for Christ and God Languages: English Tune Title: EVANGEL
