Author: Katherine Hankey Hymnal: Let Youth Praise Him #75 (1964) Lyrics: 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 longings,
As nothing else can do.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Topics: Jesus Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [I love to tell the story]
