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
(Ref.)
I love to tell the story!
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
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
(Ref.)
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
(Ref.)
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
(Ref.)
