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.
Thank you, God, 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.
