Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me!

This I know,

for the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong;

they are weak, but He is strong.

 

Jesus loves me!

Loves me still,

tho I’m very weak and ill,

That I might from sin be free,

bled and died upon the tree.

 

Jesus loves me!

He who died,

Heaven’s gate to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

let His little child come in.

 

Jesus loves me!

He will stay

close beside me all the way.

Thou hast bled and died for me;

I will henceforth live for Thee.

 

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.
