Author: Katherine Hankey Hymnal: HOoS1926 #351 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Lyrics: 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.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
4 Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear;
And when the light of heaven
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story:
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole."[Refrain]
