135. Jesus Loves Me

1 Let the shadows round me gather,
And the day
Pass away—
Jesus Loves me.

2 Though the tide of sorrow whelm me,
In the flow
This I know—
Jesus Loves me.

3 Dearest earthly friends may leave me;
He, my own,
Stays alone—
Jesus Loves me.

4 Neither sin nor death can fright me;
Jesus died,
He’ll provide—
Jesus Loves me.
