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. 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.”
