67. Jesus Loves Me

1 Jesus loves me, fondly loves me,
With a love broad as the sky;
Jesus loves me, fondly loves me,
With a love which cannot die.

Refrain:
Jesus loves my soul immortal,
O my soul, immortal soul!
Jesus loves my soul immortal,
Fondly loves me, O my soul.

2 Shall I give my soul to Jesus?
Answer quickly, O my soul!
Shall I give my soul to Jesus
Long as endless ages roll? [Refrain]

3 Oh, how freely Jesus suffered,
Suffered deep and suffered long;
And shall I not suffer for him,
Tho’ like him I suffer wrong? [Refrain]

4 Yes, at once, now and forever,
All I am and hope to be;
Wholly thine, O blessed Jesus,
Thine for all eternity. [Refrain]
