Lyrics:

(Original lyrics by Katherine Hankey, alt. William H. Doane, 1867; new lyrics by Andrew Micah, 2018)

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 like nothing else can do

CHORUS
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory
To tell the good, good story of Jesus and His love

When I was lost in darkness, the Light of Life came down
And to the ages’ wonder, He wore the scoffer’s crown
No tongue of men or angels could tell the grief He knew
When Heaven’s heart was broken to ransom me and you

I love to tell the story, more wonderful it seems
Than all our proud ambitions, than all our golden dreams
For when I see my Jesus forsaken on the tree
I see the life and mercy none else could win for me

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 endless glory I sing a brand new song
‘Twill be the same old story that I have loved so long
