196   Tell Me the Old Old Story




[1]
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.

[2]
Tell me the story softly
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember I m the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save;
Tell me the story always
If you would really be
In any time of trouble
A comforter to me.

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

[3]
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.
