I’m glad that ... or I’m glad to ...

Question

Hello,

To me, both of the following two sentences are correct and meaning almost, if not completely, the same.

1- I’m glad that I hear that.

2- I’m glad to hear that.

Incidentally, here’s a resource pointing to hundreds of sentences that have used “glad that” in themselves.

Only #2 is natural.

Thanks for the answer.

But does it also mean that those thousands sentences that compromise “glad that” are all unnatural? It’s rather odd for me!
