Hymn 277 - I 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 longings As nothing else can do.

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.

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.

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.

REFRAIN

I love to tell the story; 

’Twill be my theme in glory

To tell the old, old story

Of Jesus and His love.
