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
