  *++Lyrics:|\\
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.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
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; 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.\\
\\
