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.
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]
4 I love to hear the story 
Of unseen things above,
Creation and God's glory, 
Of Jesus and his love;
How Light o'ercomes the darkness, 
The vision of Shalom;
How God dwells deep within us, 
And truth will lead us home. 
I love to hear the story,
It covers us in glory,
That joyful wonderful story
Of God's eternal love. Topics: Discipleship; God's Love; Story of Jesus; Light; Quaker composer; Salvation Languages: English Tune Title: HANKEY
