I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY

1I love to tell the sto-ry Of un-seen things a-bove,
Of Je-sus and his glo-ry, Of Je-sus and his love.
I love to tell the sto-ry, Be-cause I know 'tis true;
It sat-is-fies my long-ings As noth-ing else can do.

RefrainI love to tell the sto-ry, 'Twill be my theme in glo-ry,
To tell the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and his love.

2I love to tell the sto-ry; More won-der-ful it seems
Than all the gold-en fan-cies Of all our gold-en dreams.
I love to tell the sto-ry, It did so much for me;
And that is just the rea-son I tell it now to thee.

3I love to tell the sto-ry; 'Tis pleas-ant to re-peat
What seems, each time I tell it, More won-der-ful-ly sweet.
I love to tell the sto-ry, For some have nev-er heard
The mes-sage of sal-va-tion From God's own ho-ly Word.

4I love to tell the sto-ry, For those who know it best
Seem hun-ger-ing and thirst-ing To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glo-ry, I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old sto-ry That I have loved so long.
