Jesus Loves Me


I love the words to the old hymn Jesus Loves Me. The most profound parts of the song are never sung. Ponder the poetry and the grace.
~

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.

~
Jesus loves me! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

~

Refrain

~
Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.

~

Refrain

~
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

~
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.

~

Refrain

This stanza from the original is commonly omitted in hymnals:

~
Jesus loves me! Loves me still,
Though I’m very weak and ill,
That I might from sin be free
Bled and died upon the tree.
