197. 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 nought 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,
Nailed hands and pierced 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!

Amen.
