308. I Love to Hear the Story

7.6.7.6.D.
1
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.
2
I’m glad my blessed Savior
 
Was once a child like me,
 
To show how pure and holy
 
His little ones might be;
 
And I should try to follow
 
His footsteps here below;
 
He never will forget me,
 
Because He loved me so.
3
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 I shall surely go
 
To sing with His redeemed ones,
 
Because He loved me so.
