Tell me the old, old story,
|
|
| 1. | Tell me the old, old story, |
| | Of unseen things above, |
| | Of Jesus and His glory, |
| | Of Jesus and His love; |
| | Tell me the story simply, |
| | As to a little child, |
| | For I am weak and weary, |
| | And helpless and defiled. |
| | Tell me the old, old story, |
| | Tell me the old, old story, |
| | Tell me the old, old story, |
| | Of Jesus and His love. |
| 2. | Tell me the story slowly, |
| | That I may take it in- |
| | That wonderful redemption, |
| | God's remedy for sin; |
| | Tell me the story often, |
| | For I forget so soon, |
| | The "early dew" of morning |
| | Has passed away at noon. |
| 3. | Tell me the story softly, |
| | With earnest tones and grave; |
| | Remember I'm the sinner |
| | Whom Jesus came to save; |
| | Tell me the story always, |
| | If you would really be, |
| | In any time of trouble, |
| | A comforter to me. |
| 4. | Tell me the same old story, |
| | When you have cause to fear |
| | That this world's empty glory |
| | Is costing me to dear; |
| | And when the Lord's bright glory |
| | Is dawning on my soul, |
| | Tell me the old, old story: |
| | "Christ Jesus make thee whole." |
