Tell me the old, old story Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story slowly, That I may take it in - That wonderful redemption, God's remedy for sin. Tell me the story often, For I forget so soon; The early dew of morning Has passed away at noon.
Tell me the story softly, With the earnest tones and grave Remember I'm the sinner Whom God came to save Tell me the story always If you would really be, In any timw of trouble A comforter to me
Tell me the same old story When you have cause to fear That this world's empty glory Is costing me too dear. Yes, and when that world's glory is dawning on my soul Tell me the old story Christ Jesus make thee whole
Tell me the story simply, As to a little child; For I am weak and weary, And helpless and defiled.
