Verse 1
Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of un-seen things a-bove,
Of Je-sus and His glo-ry, of Je-sus and His love,
Tell me the sto-ry sim-ply, As to a lit-tle child,
For I am weak and wea-ry, And help-less and de-filed.
Chorus
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,
Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.
Verse 2
Tell me the sto-ry slow-ly, That I may take it in,
That won-der-ful re-demp-tion, Gods rem-e-dy for sin.
Tell me the sto-ry oft-en, For I for-get so soon,
The ear-ly dew of morn-ing Has passed a-way at noon.
Chorus
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,
Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.
Verse 3
Tell me the sto-ry soft-ly, With ear-nest tones and grave,
Re-mem-ber, Im the sin-ner Whom Je-sus came to save.
Tell me the sto-ry al-ways, If you would real-ly be,
In an-y time of trou-ble, A com-fort-er to me.
Chorus
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,
Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.
Verse 4
Tell me the same old sto-ry When you have cause to fear,
That this worlds emp-ty glo-ry Is cost-ing me too dear,
Yes, and when that worlds glo-ry, Is dawn-ing on my soul,
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Christ Je-sus makes thee whole.
Chorus
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,
Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.
