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]
