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
It will be my theme in glory
to tell the old old story
of Jesus and his love
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
I love to tell the story
It is 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
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
