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.
Refrain:
I love to tell the story, ‘Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
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. [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,
‘Twill be the old, old story That I have loved so long. [Refrain]
