1
いともとうとき イェスの恵み
罪に死にたる 身をも活かす。
主よりたまわる 天の糧に
飢えしこころも いまは満ちぬ。
(くりかえし)
世にあるかぎり、主のみ栄えと
いつくしみとを 語り伝えん。
2
救いの恵み 告ぐるわれは
喜びあふれ 歌とぞなる。
滅びを出でし この知らせを、
あまねく人に 語り伝えん。
3
語り尽くせぬ イェスの恵み
いとも小さき われをも召し、
天の世嗣と なしたまえば、
たれか洩るべき 主の救いに。

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.
Refrain
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.
Refrain
I love to tell the story; ’tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.
Refrain
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
Refrain
