I Love to Hear the Story

I love to hear the sto­ry which an­gel voic­es tell

How once the King of glo­ry came down on earth to dwell.

I am both weak and sin­ful; but this I sure­ly know

The Lord came down to save me

be­cause He loved me so.

I’m glad my bless­èd Sav­ior was once a child like me

To show how pure and ho­ly His lit­tle ones might be;

And

if I try to foll­ow His foot­steps here be­low

He nev­er will for­get me

be­cause He loves me so.

To sing His love and mer­cy my sweet­est songs I’ll raise;

And

though I can­not see Him

I know he hears my praise;

For He has kind­ly pro­mised that ev­en I may go

To sing among His an­gels

be­cause He loves me so.
