I Love to Tell the Story
                                              
  G                         C              G
I love to tell the story of unseen things above
   D             G                      D
Of Jesus and His glory of Jesus and his love
                   G       Em                 B7
I love to tell the story because I know 'tis true
   C            G           D                G
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do 

(Chorus)
  D                G             C              G
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory
   G7                C        G     D       G              
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love 

  G                           C             G
I love to tell the story 'tis pleasant to repeat
     D                 G                        D
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet
                   G         Em              B7        
I love to tell the story for some have never heard
    C             G           D              G
The message of salvation from God's own holy word 

  G                           C                 G
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
     D             G                             D
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
                      G       Em                B7
And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song
       C               G            D             G
'twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long
