I'd love to help, but I need a little spefic information:

1) What kind of report is it? Biographical, informative, review, etc.?

2) How long is it supposed to be?

-------------

I just did a quick google search and turned up the following sites. Now, always remember that google is your friend. Second, always remember not to trust your friends explicitely. :lol: Really, only use the information on these sites if it's verified by some other sources or multiple sites.

The story is in a book I have. :) A little bit later (after I eat my supper) I'll post a quick summary for you. Hang in there till then!~ ^_^ *zooms to take his supper out of the oven*

Here we go -- just as promised. ^_^ (It should be enough to get you started, anyway.)

"I Love To Tell The Story" was written by 32-year-old Arabella Katharine Hankey in England during the mid-1800's when slavery was in the process of being abolished. When she wrote it, it was originally a 100-stanza poem that kept her busy during an illness that confined her to her bed for a full year. Later on, composer William G. Fischer set part of her poem to music and had it published in 1869.

That's my own very brief summary of the text from page 109 of a book called "Then Sings My Soul -- Book 2" by Robert J. Morgan, which has the histories of a whole bunch of well-known hymns. Quite fascinating stuff. :)

You may still want to check out the web, though. ^_^;
