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 '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.



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...
