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 longing as
Nothing else would do

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

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
