1. 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.
?
Refrain:
Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old, story,
Tell me the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
?
2. 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.
?
3. 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.
