I Love to Tell the Story<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,<\/strong><\/em>\nOf Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.<\/strong><\/em>\n I love to tell the story, because I know it’s true;<\/strong><\/em>\nIt satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I love to tell the story!<\/strong><\/em>\n‘Twill be my theme in glory<\/strong><\/em>\nTo tell the old, old story<\/strong><\/em>\nOf Jesus and His love.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I love to tell the story, More wonderful it seems\n<\/strong><\/em>Than all the golden fancies Of all our golden dreams,\n<\/strong><\/em>I love to tell the story, It did so much for me,\n<\/strong><\/em>And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0I love to tell the story, ‘Tis pleasant to repeat<\/strong><\/em>\nWhat seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet!<\/strong><\/em>\n I love to tell the story, For some have never heard<\/strong><\/em>\nThe message of salvation from God’s own Holy Word.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I love to tell the story, For those who know it best<\/strong><\/em>\nSeem hungering and thirsting To hear it like the rest.<\/strong><\/em>\n And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,<\/strong><\/em>\n‘Twill be the old, old story<\/strong><\/em>\n That I have loved so long.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
