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.
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; '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.
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.
