[First Stanza]
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak, but He is strong
[Refrain]
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
[Second Stanza]
Jesus loves me, He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide
He will wash away my sin
Let His little child come in
[Refrain]
[Third Stanza]
Jesus loves me, loves me still
Though I’m very weak and ill
From His shining throne on high
Comes to watch me where I lie
[Refrain]
[Forth Stanza]
Jesus loves me, He will stay
Close beside me all the way
Then His little child will take
Up to Heaven for His dear sake
Jesus Loves Me was written by William Bradbury & Anna Bartlett Warner.
