I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
♪
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev'ry word
Tell me the story most precious
Sweetest that ever was heard
Tell how the angels in chorus
Sang as they welcomed His birth
"Glory to God in the highest
Peace and good tidings to earth"
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev'ry word
Tell me the story most precious
Sweetest that ever was heard
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him
Writhing in anguish and pain
Tell of the grave where they laid Him
Tell how He liveth again
Love in that story so tender
Clearer than ever I see
Stay, let me weep while you whisper
Love paid the ransom for me
Tell me the old, old story
Tell me the old, old story
Tell me the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
O, tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above
Of Jesus and His glory
Of Jesus and His love
Tell me the story simply
As to a little child
For I am weak and weary
And helpless and defiled
Tell me the old, old story
Tell me the old, old story
Tell me 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
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story
Of Jesus, of Jesus and His love
