62. Tell Me the Old, Old Story

1 Tell me the old, old story,
Tell it, for ‘tis always new,
Tell me of a Savior’s pardon,
Tell it for I know ‘tis true;
Tell me how He died for sinners,
Tell it to me o’er and o’er,
For I am longing to hear it,
Longing for it more and more.

Refrain:
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell it to me o’er and o’er,
For I am longing to hear it,
Longing for it more and more.

2 Tell me the old, old story,
Tell it, for it is so sweet,
Tell me why he came from heaven,
Tell it, ev’ry word repeat;
Tell me, ‘tis my only comfort,
Tell it for I love it so,
And I will tell it to others,
Tell it ev’rywhere I go. [Refrain]

3 Tell me the old, old story,
Tell it so I’ll ne’er forget;
Tell me, tho’ I oft offend Him,
Tell it, that He loves me yet;
Tell me when in deepest sorrow,
Tell it, He will be my stay,
And by and by in glory
I shall reign with Him for aye. [Refrain]
