647. I am so glad that our Father in heav'n

1 I am so glad that our Father in heav'n,
Tells of his love in the book he has giv'n;
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 in eternity be,
"O what a wonder that Jesus loves me." [Refrain]

Amen.
