Tune: | [Tell me the Old, Old Story] |
Composer: | W. H. Doane |
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]
3 Tell me the story softly,
With earnest tones, and grave;
Remember I'm the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save;
Tell me that story always
If you would really be
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me. [Chorus]
4 Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear;
Yes, and when that world's glory
is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the Old, Old Story:
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole." [Chorus]
