The Hymnal ‎#443

443. I love to tell the story

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 it's true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else could do.

Refrain:
I love to tell the story,
'T will be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

2 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,
'T will be the old, old story
That I have loved so long. [Refrain]

Amen.
