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 longin's
As nothin' else can do
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
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
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 hungerin' and thirstin'
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
I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old old story
of Jesus and his love
Of Jesus and his love
Of Jesus and his love
