Author: Kate Hankey Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E62 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 'tis true:
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.
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.
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! Languages: English Tune Title: FISCHER
