Jesus Loves Me - 1860 Jesus loves me—this I know, For the Bible tells me so; Little ones to him belong, — They are weak, but he is strong. Jesus loves me—loves me still, Though I'm very weak and ill; From his shining throne on high, Comes to watch me where I lie. Jesus loves me—he will stay, Close beside me all the way. Then his little child will take, Up to heaven for his dear sake. Anna Warner
