Tell me the old old story-

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

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

4
Tell me the same old story
When you have cause to fear
That this world s empty glory
Is costing me too dear
And when the Lord s bright glory
Is dawning on my soul
Tell me the old old story
Christ Jesus makes thee whole
