I Love to Tell the Story

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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.

Refrain

I love to tell the story,
’twill be my
theme in glory,
to tell the old, old story
of Jesus and his love.

Verse 3

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

I love to tell the story,
’twill be my
theme in glory,
to tell the old, old story
of Jesus and his love.

Verse 4

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

I love to tell the story,
’twill be my
theme in glory,
to tell the old, old story
of Jesus and his love.
