47. Tell me the Old, Old story

1 Tell me the Old, Old story,
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
Tell me the story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.

Chorus:
Tell me the Old, Old Story,
Tell me the Old, Old Story,
Tell me the Old, Old Story
Of Jesus and His love.

2 Tell me the Story slowly,
That I may take it in
That wonderful redemption,
God's remedy for sin
Tell me the story often,
For I forget so soon,
The "early dew" of morning
Has passed away at noon. [Chorus]
