I Love To Tell The Story Lyrics - Amazing Grace: 14 Treasured Hymns - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Musical Introduction 

1. 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. 

CHORUS: 

I love to tell the story, 

'Twill be my theme in glory, 

To tell the old, old story, 

Of Jesus and His love. 

2. Sisters: 

I love to tell the story more wonderful it seems, (Ford: You're doin' fine) 

Brothers: 

Than all the golden fancies, of all our golden dreams, (Ford: That's it, fellows) 

Sisters: 

I Love to tell the story, it did so much for me, 

Brothers: 

And that is just the reason, I tell it now to thee. (Ford: If you're there, sing with us) 

CHORUS 

3. I love to tell the story, for those who know it best (Ford: (Oh, that's fine) 

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. CHORUS
