564. Jesus loves me! this I know

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.
[Refrain:]
Yes! Jesus loves me!
Yes! Jesus loves me!
Yes! Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me! this I know:
he loved children long ago;
he can always make me glad,
even when I'm feeling sad. [Refrain]

3 Jesus loves me! he will stay
close beside me all the way;
he will always be my friend,
and his love will never end. [Refrain]
