1 To tell the joyful story o’er,
And songs of gladness forth to pour,
And praise my Saviour more and more,
Be this my chief employ.

Refrain:
The story tell again,
The story tell again,
The old, old story, tell it once again,
And sing with joy the glad refrain.

2 To tell to those who know Him not,
With what great love hath Jesus sought,
To give salvation which He brought,
Be this my highest joy. [Refrain]

3 To sing so sweet that some might heed,
Who never knew the Lord indeed,
And they be brought to feel their need
No song so sweet as this. [Refrain]

4 To sweet His praises by and by,
With all the millions there on high;
And Jesus name to magnify,
Will be eternal bliss. [Refrain]

H.," (1) "The love that Jesus had for me" (Love of Jesus); (2) "We shall have a new name in that land" (The New Name). The music in Sankey to these hymns is also by the same person. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) Go to person page >
