244. 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 can do.

Refrain:
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;
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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 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 lov'd so long. [Refrain]
