Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Chorus
I love to tell the story!'Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and His love.
