Hymn 296 TELL ME THE OLD Lyrics

1. Tell me the Old, Old Story, Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus 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

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 1 forget so soon,
The “early dew” of morning Has passed away at noon

3. Tell me the story softly, With eamest tones and grave;
Remember I’m the sinner Whom Jesus came to save;
Tell me the story always if you would really be
I 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;
Yes, and when that world’s glory is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the Old, old Story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.”
