Author: P. P. Bliss Hymnal: Redemption Songs #91 (1889) First Line: Jesus loves me, I’m his child Refrain First Line: Jesus loves me, praise his name Lyrics: 1 Jesus loves me, I’m his child,
Though by nature sin-defiled;
Yet he washed me, made me clean,
Dwells himself my heart within.
Refrain:
Jesus loves me, praise his name,
I am cleansed from ev’ry stain;
I have plunged beneath the flood,
I’m redeemed thro’ Jesus’ blood.
2 Jesus all my grief doth know,
Measures well my cup of woe;
Knows, for he the path hath trod,
Bore for me the wrath of God. [Refrain]
3 Jesus will not send a pain
Which to me shall not be gain;
Nor in anger deal the blow;
Strength to bear it will bestow. [Refrain]
4 Jesus soon will call me home;
There no pain nor grief can come;
Then on Canaan’s peaceful shore
I shall praise him evermore. [Refrain] Scripture: John 4:19 Tune Title: [Jesus loves me, I’m his child]
Jesus Loves Me
