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.
Chorus: 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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
