233   TELL ME THE OLD OLD STORY




[V1]

Tell me the old, old story, Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply, As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary, And helpless and defiled.

[C]
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love.

[V2]
Tell me the story slowly, That I may take it in,
That wonderful redemption, God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often, For I forget so soon;
The early dew of morning, Has passed away at noon.

[C]
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love.

[V3]
Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear,
That this world’s empty glory,
Is costing me too dear, .
Yes, and when that world’s glory,
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story,
Christ Jesus makes thee whole
.

[C]
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love.
