Hymn
Jesus Loves Me, This I Know
Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so:
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so!
Jesus from His throne on high,
Came into this world to die;
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, take this heart of mine;
Make it pure and wholly Thine:
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for Thee.
