- 1Once more I must tell the old story to you,The story that I love;The story of Jesus so good and so blest,How He came His love to prove.Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell the old story so true;Once more I must tell it, nce more I must tell it to you.(yes, tell it to you.)
- 2Once more I must tell the old story to you,‘Tis pleasant to repeatThe marvelous story of Christ and His love,The story true and sweet.Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell the old story so true;Once more I must tell it, nce more I must tell it to you.(yes, tell it to you.)
- 3I tell it because it is what the world needsMore than all else besides;I tell it because He to you and me came,And with us still abides.Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell the old story so true;Once more I must tell it, nce more I must tell it to you.(yes, tell it to you.)
- 4I tell it because I cannot restrainHis love that fills my soul;I tell because in His mercy He cameAnd made me fully whole.Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell it,Once more I must tell the old story so true;Once more I must tell it, nce more I must tell it to you.(yes, tell it to you.)
