I Love to Tell the Story

Verse 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 'tis true,
It satisfies my longings as nothing else would do.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 loved so long.

Refrain I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.
