The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#49

49. Because He Loved Me So

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 if I try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me,
Because he loves me so.

3 To sing his love and mercy,
My sweetest songs I'll raise,
And though I can not see him,
I know he hears my praise;
For he has kindly promised
That I shall surely go
To sing among his angels,
Because he loves me so.
