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.
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; ’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.
I love to tell …
I love to tell the story, For those who know it best
Seems like they’re 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.
I love to tell …
