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, 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

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest
nd when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song
Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long
