Lyrics:
Based on Voices United #343 |
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 can do. Chorus: I love to tell the story, ’Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and His love. I love to tell the story; More wonderful it seems Than all the golden fancies Of all my golden dreams, I love to tell the story; For some have never heard The message of salvation From God’s own holy Word. 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. |
