Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #122c (1879) Hymnal Title: Minnetonka Songs First Line: I love to hear the story which 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 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. Languages: English
