|
<p>Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above,<br>
|
|
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.<br>
|
|
Tell me the story simply, as to a little child,<br>
|
|
For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,<br>
|
|
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.</p>
|
|
<p>Tell me the story slowly, that I may take it in,<br>
|
|
That wonderful redemption, God’s remedy for sin.<br>
|
|
Tell me the story often, for I forget so soon;<br>
|
|
The early dew of morning has passed away at noon.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave;<br>
|
|
Remember I’m the sinner whom Jesus came to save.<br>
|
|
Tell me the story always, if you would really be,<br>
|
|
In any time of trouble, a comforter to me.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Tell me the same old story when you have cause to fear<br>
|
|
That this world’s empty glory is costing me too dear.<br>
|
|
Yes, and when that world’s glory is dawning on my soul,<br>
|
|
Tell me the old, old story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.”</p>
