196- Tell Me the Old, Old Story
Jesus Christ: Love of Christ for Us
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 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.
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."
