Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but he is strong.

Chorus:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

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 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.

*Original version (last 2 lines)
taking children on his knee,
saying, "Let them come to me.”
