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

'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


I love to tell the story

'Twill be my theme in glory

To tell the old, old story

Of Jesus and his love

To tell the old, old story

Of Jesus and his love
