Jesus loves me! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Refrain
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
2
Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide:
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
3
Jesus, take this heart of mine,
Make it pure and wholly thine;
On the cross You died for me,
I will love and live for Thee.

The hymn was written by Anna Bartlett Warner – however, they have edited out the third and fourth verses, and the substutue does NOT represent what she wrote!
Indeed Jesus loves me and you
Be4 u were born
Its true dat Jesus loves us no matter wat hard times we may pass through but stil Jesus is in control
Verse 3. Coross should be cross.
Thank you for pointing out the mistake. It has now been corrected.
This hymn needs to conform more to what Anna Bartlett Warner actually wrote, while avoiding any doctrinal aberrations. Methinks the compilers should have followed the text of the 1952 New Advent Hymnal. This how it goes, viz.
v.3
Jesus loves me! loves me still
when I’m very weak and ill;
from his shining throne on high
ever watches where I lie.
Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me; et al.
v.4
Jesus loves me! He will stay
close beside me all the way;
if I love him, by and by
he will take me home on high.
Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me et al.
What have they done to Anna Bartlett Warner’s hymn??? She NEVER wrote the third verse as you have it there, in fact it had four verses.
3rd verse:-
Jesus loves me, loves me still
when I’m very weak and ill;
from his shin9ing throne on high
ever watches where I lie.
Refrain:
4th verse:-
Jesus loves me, he will stay
close beside me all the way.
If I love him, by and by
he will take me home on high.
Refrain:
The rendering I have quoted is from the 1952 New Advent Hymnal.
Well it’s just as you said, that version is from the 1952 hymnal. This is the version that I personally grew up singing. The song has changed in the last 60+ years
