SDA HYMNAL 196 – Tell Me the Old Old Story

Verse 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.

Verse 2:
Tell me the story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember I’m the sinner
Who Jesus came to save;
Tell me the story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.

Refrain:
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love.

Verse 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 make thee whole.”

Refrain:
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love.
