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 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, '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 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
