hymnal 497
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 can do.
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; '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.
I love to tell the story! 'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and His love.
3. I love to tell the story; For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting To hear it, like 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.
I love to tell the story! 'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and His love.
