Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of un-seen things a-bove,

Of Je-sus and His glo-ry, of Je-sus and His love,

–

Tell me the sto-ry sim-ply, As to a lit-tle child,

For I am weak and wea-ry, And help-less and de-filed.

Chorus

Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,

Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.

Verse 2

Tell me the sto-ry slow-ly, That I may take it in,

That won-der-ful re-demp-tion, God’s rem-e-dy for sin.

–

Tell me the sto-ry oft-en, For I for-get so soon,

The ear-ly dew of morn-ing Has passed a-way at noon.

Chorus

Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,

Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.

Verse 3

Tell me the sto-ry soft-ly, With ear-nest tones and grave,

Re-mem-ber, I’m the sin-ner Whom Je-sus came to save.

–

Tell me the sto-ry al-ways, If you would real-ly be,

In an-y time of trou-ble, A com-fort-er to me.

Chorus

Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,

Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.

Verse 4

Tell me the same old sto-ry When you have cause to fear,

That this world’s emp-ty glo-ry Is cost-ing me too dear,

–

Yes, and when that world’s glo-ry, Is dawn-ing on my soul,

Tell me the old, old sto-ry, “Christ Je-sus makes thee whole”.

Chorus

Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,

Tell me the old, old sto-ry Of Je-sus and His love.
