 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 could do.

     Refrain
     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;
        '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.

     Refrain

 3.  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.

     Refrain
