verse 1 
 
 D                         G             D 
I love to tell the story of unseen things above 
  A             D                      A 
Of Jesus and His glory of Jesus and his love 
                  D       Bm                F# 
I love to tell the story because I know 'tis true 
  G            D           A                D 
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do 
 
 A                D             G              D 
I love to tell the story  'twill be my theme in glory 
                    G        D     A       D               
To tell the old  old story of Jesus and his love

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best 
    A             D                             A 
Seen hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest. 
                      D        Bm                F# 
And when  in scenes of glory  I sing the new, new song 
     G              D          A               D 
Twill be the old old story that I have loved so long 
 
 A                D             G              D

To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love
