	I love to tell the sto -- ry
	of un -- seen things a -- bove,
	of Je -- sus and His glo -- ry,
	of Je -- sus and His love.

	I love to tell the sto -- ry
	be -- cause I know 'tis true;
	It sat -- is -- fies my long -- ings
	as noth -- ing else could do.

	I love to tell the sto -- ry;
	'twill be my theme in glo -- ry
	to tell the old, old sto -- ry
	of Je -- sus and His love.

	I love to tell the sto -- ry;
	'Tis pleas -- ant to re -- peat
	what seems, each time I tell it,
	more won -- der -- ful -- ly sweet.

	I love to tell the sto -- ry,
	for some have nev -- er heard
	the mes -- sage of sal -- va -- tion
	from God's own ho -- ly Word.

	I love to tell the sto -- ry,
	for those who know it best
	seem hun -- ger -- ing and thirst -- ing
	to hear it, like the rest.

	And when, in scenes of glo -- ry,
	I sing the new, new song,
	'twill be the old, old sto -- ry
	that I have loved so long.
