457 - I Love to Tell the Story
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.
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.
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.
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.
