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 longing
As nothing else can do.

Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old old story

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.

I love to tell the story;
Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it
More wonderfully sweet;

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.

[C]
I love to tell the story;
Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old old story
Of Jesus and His love.
