Composer: | William G. Fischer |
1 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.
2 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. [Chorus]
3 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. [Chorus]
