Jesus Loves Me

Jesus Loves Me is a Christian hymn written by Anna B. Warner [ [http://www.cyberhymnal.org/bio/w/a/r/warner_ab.htm] Biography and hymns of Anna Bartlett Warner (1827-1915).] The lyrics first appeared as a poem in the context of a novel called "Say and Seal", written by Susan Warner and published in 1860. The tune was added in 1862 by William Batchelder Bradbury who found the text of "Jesus Loves Me" in a book, in which the words were spoken as a comforting poem to a dying child. Along with his tune, Bradbury added his own chorus "Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus Loves me..." After publication the song became one of the most popular Christian hymns in churches around the world.

Lyrics

:Jesus loves me! This I know,:For the Bible tells me so.:Little ones to Him belong;:They are weak, but He is strong.

::"Chorus:"

::Yes, Jesus loves me!::Yes, Jesus loves me!::Yes, Jesus loves me!::The Bible tells me so.

:Jesus loves me! This I know,:As He loved so long ago,:Taking children on His knee,:Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me when I'm good,:When I do the things I should,:Jesus loves me when I'm bad,:Though it makes Him very sad.

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me still today,:Walking with me on my way,:Wanting as a friend to give:Light and love to all who live.

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me! He who died:Heaven’s gate to open wide;:He will wash away my sin,:Let His little child come in.

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me! Loves me still:Tho' I'm very weak and ill;:That I might from sin be free:Bled and died upon the tree.

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me! He will stay:Close beside me all the way;:Thou hast bled and died for me,:I will henceforth live for Thee.

::"Chorus"

Three verses appear along with the first verse in the Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary, the hymnal of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. These four verses are the only verses of the hymn in this hymnal.

:Jesus loves me! See His grace!:On the cross He took my place.:There He suffered and He died, :That I might be glorified.

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me! God's own Son:Over sin the vict'ry won.:When I die, saved by His grace,:I shall see Him face to face.

::"Chorus"

:Jesus loves me! He is near.:He is with His Church so dear.:And the Spirit He has sent:By His Word and Sacrament.

::"Chorus"

History

In 1943 in the Solomon Islands, John F. Kennedy's PT-109 was rammed and sunk. Islanders Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana who found Kennedy and the survivors remembers that when they rode on PT boats to retrieve the survivors, the Marines sang this song with the natives, who learned it from missionaries.
