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 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 !
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 among His angels, Because He loves me so !
