Arabella Katherine Hankey, |
| Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above, |
| Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love. |
| Tell me the story simply, as to a little child, |
| For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled. |
| Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story, |
| Tell me the old, old story, 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 old, old story, tell me the old, old story, |
| Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love. |
| Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave; |
| Remember I’m the sinner whom Jesus came to save. |
| Tell me the story always, if you would really be, |
| In any time of trouble, a comforter to me. |
| Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story, |
| Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love. |
| 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, old story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.” |
| Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story, |
| Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love. |
