I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY
1. I love to tell
the story
Of unseem 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.
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.
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.
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.
