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

i love to tell the story

the story twill be my theme in glory

my theme in glory

to tell the old old story

old story of jesus and his love

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

i love to tell the story

will be my theme in glory

to tell the old old story

old story of jesus and his love

i love to tell the old old story

old story of jesus and his love
