[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
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

[Chorus]
