Tell Me the Old, Old Story
A. Catherine Hankey, 1834-1911

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" -1st Peter 1:18-19

---

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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".

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