446. I am so glad that our Father in heaven

1 I am so glad that our Father in heaven
tells of his love in the book he has given.
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
this is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Refrain:
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me!
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me!

2 Though I forget him and wander away,
still he doth love me wherever I stray.
Back to his dear loving arms would I flee
when I remember that Jesus loves me. [Refrain]

3 O if there’s only one song I can sing
when in his beauty I see the great King,
this shall my song through eternity be:
'O what a wonder that Jesus loves me!' [Refrain]
