118. 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 'tis 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:
'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]

3 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]
