Traditional Spiritual / song for children (Anna Bartlett Warner)

1. Jesus loves me—this I know,
For the Bible tells me so:
Little ones to him belong,—
They are weak, but he is strong.

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

Liedtext: Jesus loves me, this I know (William Batchelder Bradbury)

1. Jesus loves me—this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong—
They are weak, but He is strong.

2. Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me—
The Bible tells me so!

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

4. 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.

5. Jesus loves me—He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
If I love Him, when I die
He will take me home on high.
