<p>I love to tell the story of unseen things above,<br>
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.<br>
I love to tell the story, because I know &#8217;tis true;<br>
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">I love to tell the story, &#8217;twill be my theme in glory,<br>
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.</p>
<p>I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems<br>
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.<br>
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;<br>
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>I love to tell the story; &#8217;tis pleasant to repeat what seems,<br>
Each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.<br>
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard<br>
The message of salvation from God&#8217;s own holy Word.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>I love to tell the story, for those who know it best<br>
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.<br>
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,<br>
&#8217;Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
