I Love to Tell the Story

(Katherine Hankey - William G. Fisher)



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.



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, '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

'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

Seen 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.



I love to tell the story

'Twill be my theme in glory

To tell the old, old story

Of Jesus and his love...
