A. Katherine Hankey was born in time of great turmoil in England. William Wilberforce was moving to eradicate slavery in the British Empire and Katherine's father was an ardent abolitionist. Katherine's passion was to spread the Gospel to those in need and support foreign missions. She devoted all proceeds of her writing to that cause. One of her poems, The Old, Old Story, contained 100 stanzas! First one hymnist, and then another, set parts of it to music and "I Love to Tell the Story" has been treasured for over 150 years. Gloria Gaither calls it her favorite hymn of all time.

LYRICS
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.
Repeat 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.
Repeat 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.
Repeat Refrain
