Verse 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.

Verse 2

I’m glad my blessed 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 forget me, Because he loves me so.

Verse 3

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