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.

chorus:
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; 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.

chorus:
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; 'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, For som have never heard
The message of salvation From God's own holy word.

chorus:
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 hugering 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.
