Hymnal: The Little Seraph #165 (1874) First Line: I love to hear the story Lyrics: 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 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. Tune Title: [I love to hear the story]
Because he loved me so
