7I 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.

I love to tell the story; More wonderful it seemsThan 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 repeatWhat seems each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet;I love to tell the story, For some have never heardThe message of salvation From God's own holy word.

I love to tell the story; For those who know it bestSeem 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.
