Jesus Will Always Love You

Representative Text

1 Tho’ you have wandered away from the fold,
Jesus will always love you;
Sin-sick and weary with hunger and cold,
Jesus will always love you.

Refrain:
Jesus will always love you,
Tenderly He will love you;
Walking beside you to comfort and guide you,
Jesus will always love you.

2 Tho’ you have grieved Him again and again,
Jesus will always love you;
Shall He continue to seek you in vain?—
Jesus will always love you. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ you have steadfastly turned from His plea,
Jesus will always love you;
Patient and tender and faithful is He,
Jesus will always love you. [Refrain]

4 Fully surrender and turn from your sin,
Jesus will always love you;
Open the door of your heart, let Him in,
Jesus will always love you. [Refrain]
