I LOVE TO TELL
THE STORY
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 it’s true;
it satisfies my
longings as nothing else would do.
Refrain
I love to tell
the story;
I’ll sing this
theme in glory
and tell the old,
old story
of Jesus and his
love.
I love to tell
the story: how 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)
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,
I’ll sing the
old, old story that I have loved so long. (Refrain)
Text: Katherine
Hankey, 1834-1911
God so loved the
world that he blessed us with music. From the soft sounds of a
lullaby to the inspiration of the “Hallelujah Chorus,” the whole
world sings! Even the deaf sing with their hands.
Lord God, you’ve
blessed us with this wonderful thing called music. Thank you!
Thank you for talented people who write music, sing and play
instruments for our enjoyment. Bless their voices and their
efforts to praise you, bringing the good news in music to all who
love you and praise your holy name. I thank you, Lord, for
allowing me to tell the old, old story.
