I Love to Tell the Story

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 it’s 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.

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.

 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 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.
