I Love to Tell the Story

1I 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 can do.

RefrainI love to tell the story; 'Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and His love.

2I 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.

3I 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.

4I 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.
