108. Jesus Loves Me (The favorite Hymn of China)

1 Jesus love 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.

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,
Tho' 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;
If I love Him when I die,
He will take me home on high.
