Author: Mrs. Emily H. Miller Hymnal: The Christian Sunday School Hymnal #49 (1883) 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 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. Scripture: Romans 8:35 Tune Title: [I love to hear the story]
Because He Loved Me So
