Verse 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 can 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. Verse 2 ~ I love to tell the story;      more wonderful it seems than all the golden fancies      of all our golden dreams. I love to tell the story,      it did so much for me; and that is just the reason      I tell it now to thee. Verse 3 ~ 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. Verse 4 ~ 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.
