<p>Jesus loves me! This I know,<br>
For the Bible tells me so.<br>
Little ones to Him belong;<br>
They are weak, but He is strong.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Yes, Jesus loves me!<br>
Yes, Jesus loves me!<br>
Yes, Jesus loves me!<br>
The Bible tells me so.</p>
<p>Jesus loves me! This I know,<br>
As He loved so long ago,<br>
Taking children on His knee,<br>
Saying, &#8220;Let them come to Me.&#8221;<br>
</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Jesus loves me still today,<br>
Walking with me on my way,<br>
Wanting as a friend to give<br>
Light and love to all who live.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Jesus loves me! He who died<br>
Heaven&#8217;s gate to open wide;<br>
He will wash away my sin,<br>
Let His little child come in.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Jesus loves me! He will stay<br>
Close beside me all the way;<br>
Thou hast bled and died for me,<br>
I will henceforth live for Thee.</p>

<p class="just">For those interested in the background of this hymn, it originally appeared as a poem inside a novel, <em>Say and Seal</em>, which Anna Warner co-authored with her sister Susan. In the book, the words are spoken to a dying child, and in that context, there is another stanza not commonly found in hymnals:</p>
<div class="lyrics">
<p>Jesus loves me! Loves me still,<br>
Though I&#8217;m very weak and ill,<br>
That I might from sin be free<br>
Bled and died upon the tree.</p>
