LOVE AND LOYALTY


107 I Love to Tell the Story
(HANKEY. 7,6,7,6,D. With Refrain)
Katherine Hankey, 1874 William G. Fischer, 1869
 
  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 could do.
    Refrain
    I love to tell the stroy, 'Twill be my theme in glory,
    To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and his love.
  2. 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.
    Refrain
  3. 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
    Refrain
  4. 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
    Amen
