1 How He loved me, how Jesus loved me
When He gave Himself to die on Calvary,
Tho’ unworthy of His kindness,
All my sins He bore upon the cruel tree.

Chorus:
How He loves me, how Jesus loves me,
And His love doeth all things well;
How He loves me, how Jesus loves me,
How much He loves me no tongue can tell.

2 How He loves me, how Jesus loves me
And because He loves me saves me from all sin,
Bu His power daily keeps me,
And He helps me glorious victories to win. [Chorus]

3 How He loves me, how Jesus loves me
And His love for me will never, never die;
He’s preparing blessed mansions
In His everlasting kingdom in the sky. [Chorus]
