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 'twill be my theme in glory

 To tell the old old story of Jesus and his love

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 'twill be my theme in glory

 To tell the old old story of Jesus and His love

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

 I love to tell the story 'twill be my theme in glory

 To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love

 To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love
