I Love To Tell The Story
Written by Catherine Hankey (1834-1911)
She was born in Clapham, Middlesex, England.
This song is part of a 50 stanza poem she wrote about Jesus.

Those who were scattered preached the Word wherever they went. Acts 8:4

I Love To Tell The Story
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.

Refrain
I love to tell the story! '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 our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story; for some have never heard
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)
