I Love to Tell the Story

Words: Kate Hankey · Music: William G. Fischer · 1868

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.

Chorus
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;
'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 3
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.
