Jesus loves me, this I know (322)

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,
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me, He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let a little child come in.

Jesus loves me, though I’m bad,
And He waits to make me glad;
Waits to fold me in His arm,
Keep me safe from every harm.

Jesus loves me, loves me still,
When I’m very weak and ill-
From His shining place on high,
Comes to watch me where I lie.

Jesus loves me, He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
If I trust Him, by and by,
He will take me home on high.
