Author: W. C. Martin Hymnal: The King of Kings #11 (1915) First Line: I cannot longer silent be Refrain First Line: And so I tell it, I gladly tell it Lyrics: 1 I cannot longer silent be;
This precious treasure I must share;
The Lord Himself commandeth me
To tell the gospel ev’rywhere.
Refrain:
And so I tell it, I gladly tell it,
Tell of Jesus’ love for you;
And o’er and o’er again I tell it,
Story ever sweet and true.
2 There never was a story told
On earth, since passing time began,
So precious as this story old
Of Jesus’ tender love of man. [Refrain]
3 It warms this old world’s weary heart;
It makes the dark day bright again;
Its old-time charm can ne’er depart,
The sweetest story known to men. [Refrain]
4 O yes! I must again declare
The Savior’s mighty love for you,
How it pursues you ev’rywhere
And keeps you ev’ry hour in view. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I cannot longer silent be]
