Lyrics

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 it's 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. 2 I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams. I love to tell the story; it did so much for me, and that is just the reason I tell it now to thee. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 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] Source:Our Great Redeemer's Praise #160
