I Love to Tell the Story lyrics
by Meredith Willson
[Verse 1]
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 longings as nothing else can do
[Chorus]
I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
[Verse 2]
I love to tell the story, 'tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God's own holy Word
[Chorus]
I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
