Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
Tell me the old, old Story, Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love. Tell me the story simply, As to a little child, For I am weak and weary, And helpless and defiled.
Verse 2
Tell me the story slowly, That I may take it in, That wonderful redemption, God's remedy for sin; Tell me the story often, For I forget so soon: The "early dew" of morning Has passed away at noon.
Verse 3
Tell me the story softly, With earnest tones and grave; Remember I'm the sinner Whom Jesus came to save; Tell me the story always, If you would really be, In any time of trouble, A comforter to me.
Chorus
Tell me the old, old Story, Tell me the old, old Story, Tell me the old, old Story Of Jesus and His love.
