"This is the message of a person who believes with all his heart in what he is singing. He loves to tell people the story, knowing that they too will believe and join him in marching to the ultimate goal. This gospel hymn was one of the big ones back in the days of the Moody and Sankey revival meetings. It became so popular that people whistled it as they walked along the street. I do it myself sometimes - which means either I'm old-fashioned or the song is still good. Maybe both!" - Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919-91)
Ernie recommends:
1st & 2nd stanzas: Solo voices
4th stanza: All voices in unison
(Ernie's version didn't have the 3rd stanza.)
Refrains: All voices in unison, sing in 4-part harmony from piano accompaniment.
a joyful tempo

Sally 8/3/2015 from my own state of Michigan: It's ok not to enjoy this hymn. People have different and changing preferences. But don't look down on people who love this hymn. It expresses what is in one's heart. How often do you read the whole Bible with the Psalms? Thanks for sharing.
I too am very sorry that Sally did not appreciate "The Old Old Story." I would first question her knowledge of scripture, then her commitment to Christ and thirdly what her church affiliation is. Lot of crazy teaching out there that undermines the spirit in which these songs were written.
I am sad that Sally Porter does not find the joy that the writer intended for the Christian in this great and wonderful hymn. It is not for the lost. It is for the saved who reflect upon that day when God, by His grace, saved them. I find it very comforting and moving. It DOES make me realize that I need to tell the story that has meant so much to me.
I am overjoyed to be a Christian, but I can't credit this or any other sentimental non-informative song with any influence on my conversion. I find such songs exceedingly irritating. I am always waiting for "the story", the actual facts and reasons. I have a longing for Christ but this singing of longing is not at all satisfying. I prefer real meat. Nice that people are drawn by the song, but I hope they find real truth and grow in faith, not remain sentimental and fool themselves that they are Christians. They could be in for a rueful awakening.
My grandfather pass away Thursday December 25th 2014 at 9:45pm EST. And so you know this is his most favorite hymn in the world. And his memorial I will be singing that song and all of that kind of stuff ;-) .
My great aunt passed this Wednesday, this is one of her favorites. I have been asked to sing it at her funeral. She was 96. The last of a a family of long lived siblings. My grandmother died only 3 years ago at 97. Their oldest sister died at 99. 8 of 11 siblings live into their 90's. It is a sad but triumphant day for all of us as we send her home to rest for eternity with her family.
Just imagine, she started singing it not long after it was written.
I first heard this hymn as a young child in Trinity Church of Scotland, on the beautiful Isle of Bute in Scotland, when a young child in the 60s. I'm so thankful to have been given the grace to be able to live this story for nearly 35 years since then. I can't remember hearing this beautiful hymn again till now. Thank you.
Kate Hankey, the daughter of a prosperous British banker, grew up in a stylish London suburb. She started a Bible class for girls in her neighborhood, and then when she was only 18, Hankey went to London to teach a Bible class of "factory girls." In her 20's, she started other Bible classes for factory girls.
When she was in her early 30's, Kate Hankey became seriously ill. Doctors said she needed a year of bed rest. She was forbidden to teach Bible classes for 12 months. During her long, slow recovery, she wrote 2 lengthy poems. The 1st, at the beginning of her convalescence, later became the hymn, "Tell, Me the Old, Old Story." The 2nd, written 10 months later, became "I Love to Tell the Story."
After 10 months, she felt strong enough to leave her bed. She soon returned to her Bible classes in London and continued teaching for many years. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
My mother had a unique gift of telling stories. She could tell the Bible stories in such a way that they came alive to all of us in our family and church family. She taught Sunday School for many years and her love for our Lord Jesus was so transparent that it made me long to know him. I received Christ into my heart/life at the age of 12 and still today remember her telling the old old story....of Jesus and His love. She is now in heaven and if my heart tells me correctly, she is still telling the little children up there the old old story with her wonderful talent that the Lord gave her to use for his glory.I hope she knows what her life meant to me and I hope she is having a wonderful Mother's Day! Thank you Lord for giving me such a wonderful Mother.
