Author: Miss Katherine Hankey Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #323a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know it's true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else would do.
Refrain:
Tell me the old, old 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;
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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.
Amen. [Refrain] Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; Jesus (See also Christ) Story of Languages: English Tune Title: HANKEY
