I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY
Words by A. Catherine Hankey Music by William G. Fischer (1835-1912)

I (G)love to tell the story of (C)unseen things a(G)bove,
Of (D7)Jesus and His (Am/G)glo(G)ry, of Jesus and (G/B)His (D)love.
I (D/F#)love to (D7)tell the (G)story, be(Em)cause I know ’tis (B)true;
It (C)satisfies my (C/G)long(G)ings as (D7)noth(G/D)ing (D7)else can (G)do.

Refrain
I (D7)love to tell the (Am/G)sto(G)ry, (G/B)’twill (C)be my theme in (C/G)glo(G)ry,
To (G)tell the old, (G/B)old (C6)sto(C)ry of (G/D)Jesus (D7)and His (G)love.

I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems Than all the golden fancies of all our 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.
Refrain

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.
Refrain

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.
Refrain
