God's Greatest Hits #24. 'Tell Me The Old, Old Story' (tune unknown)

This hymn was originally a poem by missionary nurse Kate Hankey and set to a tune by American hymnist William Doane to make this hymn. It's by no means an easy one to play and sing at the same time, especially if you've still got the remnants of a cold inside your system!

Here are the words to 'Tell Me The Old Old Story'. Feel free to sing along!

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.

CHORUS

Tell me the old, old Story (x3)
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 too soon
The 'early dew' of morning
Has passed away at noon.

CHORUS

3. Tell me the Story softly
With earnest tones and grave
Remember! I'm the sinner
Who Jesus came to save
Tell me that Story always
If you would really be
In any time of trouble
A comforter to me.

CHORUS

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 glory
Is dawning in my soul
Tell me the old old Story
'Christ Jesus makes thee whole'.

CHORUS

Words: Kate Hankey (1834-1911). Tune: William Howard Doane (1832-1915)

Led by the love of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
