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.


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]
