The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#270

270. Jesus loves me! This I know

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.

Refrain:
Yes! Jesus loves me!
Yes! Jesus loves me!
Yes! Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me! He who died
heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
let His little child come in. [Refrain]

3 Jesus loves me! He will stay
close beside me all the way;
then His little child will take
up to heaven, for His dear sake. [Refrain]
