The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#840

840. I love to hear the story

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 blessèd Saviour
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 forsake me
Because he loves me so.

3 To sing his love and mercy
My sweetest songs I’ll raise;
For though I cannot see him,
I know he hears my praise;
And mine his loving promise
That even I may go
To sing among the angels,
Because he loves me so.
