262a. Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me

1 Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me,
He is always, always near;
If I try to please Him truly,
There is naught that I can fear.

2 Jesus loves me; well I know it,
For to save my soul He died;
He for me bore pain and sorrow,
Nailéd hands and piercéd side.

3 Jesus loves me; night and morning
Jesus hears the prayers I pray,
And He never, never leaves me,
When I work or when I play.

4 Jesus loves me, and He watches
Over me with loving eye,
And He sends His holy angels
Safe to keep me till I die.

5 Jesus loves me; O Lord Jesus,
Now I pray Thee by Thy love
Keep me ever pure and holy
Till I come to Thee above.
