G C G
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
D G D
of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
G Em B7
I love to tell the story because I know 'Tis true,
C G D G
it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.
D G C G
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,
C G D G
to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
G C G
I love to tell the story, more wonderful it seems
D G D
than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
G Em B7
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me,
C G D G
and that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.
G C G
I love to tell the story, 'tis pleasant to repeat
D G D
what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
G Em B7
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
C G D G
the message of salvation from God's own Holy Word.
G C G
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
D G D
seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
G Em B7
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
C G D G
'twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
