- 2I love to tell the story;More wonderful it seemsThan all the golden fanciesOf all my golden dreams;I love to tell the story;It did so much for me;And that is just the reasonI tell it now to thee.I love to tell the story!’Twill be my theme in gloryTo tell the old, old storyOf Jesus and His love.
- 3I love to tell the story;’Tis pleasant to repeatWhat seems, each time I tell it,More wonderfully sweet;I love to tell the story,For some have never heardThe message of salvationFrom God’s own holy word.I love to tell the story!’Twill be my theme in gloryTo tell the old, old storyOf Jesus and His love.
- 4I love to tell the story,For those who know it bestSeem hungering and thirstingTo hear it like the rest;And when, in scenes of glory,I sing the new, new song,’Twill be the old, old storyThat I have loved so long.I love to tell the story!’Twill be my theme in gloryTo tell the old, old storyOf Jesus and His love.
