Jesus Loves Me

Representative Text

1 I am trusting in the Lord and the promise of His word
At the noontide or ‘mid shadows gray;
Tho’ the light be bright or dim I will gladly walk with Him,
He will be my dearest Friend alway.

Refrain:
When the day fades to night Jesus loves me,
When the gloom turns to light Jesus loves me;
In the valleys, o’er the hills,
All my heart with joy He fills,
And my soul with rapture thrills
For He loves me.

2 I need never walk alone for the Savior is my own,
Oh, what glory none can ever tell;
Day by day I love Him more,
Sing His praises o’er and o’er,
For He guides my steps and all is well. [Refrain]

3 I am trav’ling to a home where my feet shall never roam,
There to lay my ev’ry burden down;
Where the angel feet have trod,
In the garden of my God,
I shall gladly wear a victor’s crown. [Refrain]
