I love to tell the story
|
|
| 1. | 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 longing |
| | As nothing 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. |
| 2. | I love to tell the story; |
| | More wonderful it seems |
| | Than all the golden fancies |
| | Of all my 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
