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.

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]

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]
4 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]

to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.

"I am with you to the end."

for the work of ministry. Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Facing a Task Unfinished
Author: Frank Houghton Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #634 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian warfare; Commitment; Deliverance; Martyrs; Sin; Spread of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Facing a task unfinished
that drives us to our knees,
a need that, undiminished,
rebukes our slothful ease,
we who rejoice to know you
renew before your throne
the solemn pledge we owe you
to go and make you known.
2 Where other lords beside you
hold their unhindered sway,
where forces that defied you
defy you still today,
with none to heed their crying
for life and love and light,
unnumbered souls are dying
and pass into the night.
3 We bear the torch that flaming
fell from the hands of those
who gave their lives proclaiming
that Jesus died and rose;
ours is the same commission,
the same glad message ours;
fired by the same ambition,
to you we yield our pow'rs.
4 O Father, who sustained them,
O Spirit, who inspired,
Savior, whose love constrained them
to toil with zeal untired,
from cowardice defend us,
from lethargy awake!
Forth on your errands send us
to labor for your sake. Scripture: Matthew 10 Languages: English Tune Title: NYLAND
