About this Hymn
Anna Bartlett Warner of West Point, New York, was an avid writer. She included this simple poem in her novel Say and Seal, in a moment when a young boy, Johnny, was struggling with illness. Through this song we learn about the way God speaks through Scripture, the basics of salvation, Christ's watchful care, and the promise of heaven.
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Chorus
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
Verse 2
Jesus loves me, he who died, heaven's gate to open wide. He has washed away my sin, let his little child come in.
Verse 3
Jesus loves me! he will stay close beside me all the way; thou hast bled and died for me, I will henceforth live for thee.
