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 ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story,
Because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.
I love to tell the story,
’Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.
’Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story;
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all my golden dreams,
I love to tell the story,
It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all my golden dreams,
I love to tell the story,
It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.

I love to tell the story;
’Tis 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.

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,
’Twill be the old, old story,
That I have loved so long.
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,
’Twill be the old, old story,
That I have loved so long.

Having read the comment by Ronald C. Denhard, I would like to give a similar testimony. As a very young child I heard my mother singing "I Love to Tell the Story" as she ironed. It impressed me so that my mother loved the Lord and implanted a longing deep within my heart to know Him as well. I actually received the Lord when I was 12, during the time of baptismal instruction. I am 71 years old now and have walked with the Lord all these years. I confirm the truth of the words in this hymn: "For those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest." Thank God for a Christian mother!

I learned this hymn in my youth after I accepted Jesus as Saviour at 15 years of age. Since then 'I love to tell the story' to whoever will listen. I am now 85 years of age and still rejoice in the day I accepted Him. 'Taste and see that the Lord is Good'.

This reminds me of the "old, old story".

Just another of my favorites, that is not just to sing with but also tells the true story why we, as Christians, do Stand up for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
