82. Tell Me the Old, Old Story |
|
|
| | |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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 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." |
