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 the story Because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longing 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, More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the 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, 'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the the story, For some have never heard
The message of salvation From God's own Holy Word.
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 of glory, I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story That I have loved so long.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
7 ¶ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
