^{————————— 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

^{————————— 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

^{————————— Verse 4: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

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
