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. |
| 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 my golden dreams, I love to tell the story, It did so much for me; And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee. |

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. |

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. |

I woke up this morning my singing the chorus of this song that I learned years ago in Sunday School

This hymn has always been very special to me.

This hymn would be perfect for a introduction to a sermon. It creates an atmosphere of expectation and reverence for God. But despite that it’s a great hymn Niall respects. It is a call for all of us to tell the story.

The story brings me back to reflection on how the saints of old walked with the Lord and I thanked and bless God for using two wonderful brothers in the Lord to sing it n each time I heard it I began to talk to God in prayers to help walk with him in Holiness, Righteousness and purity of heart, I heard it when I was still a kid but I never understood what it meant but thank God am grown n am still holding to this story of word, it's a great privilege and opportunity God has granted into me and by His grace He has so much showed me mercy to be alive.

This song touched my heart and I had it sung in church on old year's night 2018.

We love to sing, "I love to tell the story," but do we? When was the last time that you told the story of what difference the love of God has made in your life? Shared in your assurance that God is real and God is with us.
The song is melodious and pleasant to ones ear, but, if we are to love to tell the story then we must be willing to put ourselves in the place of its author, Katherine Hankey, who is describing her love to tell the story, "of Jesus and His love" and "the message of salvation." How willing are we to "tell the old, old story" that we love to tell to some one we won't even speak to.

We sang this hymn yesterday and today while at the office I found myself humming this hymn. "I love to tell the story of unseen things above hmm..." Thank the Lord for His great salvation! We must be bold to tell the story of our Lord Jesus, we can't deny the fact that He is so real to us... 'twill be our theme in glory to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love!
