Jesus Loves Me:
Words and music -- William B. Bradbury
Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
And little ones to him belong;
They are weak oh, but he is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me and he'll;
stay close me all the way;
And if I love him when I die,
He will take me home on high.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me;
The Bible tells me so.
Oh, the Bible tells me so.
Words and music -- William B. Bradbury
Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
And little ones to him belong;
They are weak oh, but he is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me and he'll;
stay close me all the way;
And if I love him when I die,
He will take me home on high.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me;
The Bible tells me so.
Oh, the Bible tells me so.
Jesus Loves Me is a Christian hymn set to words by Anna Bartlett Warner.[1] 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, in which the words were spoken as a comforting poem to a dying child.[2]
The tune was added in 1862 by William Batchelder Bradbury who found the text of "Jesus Loves Me" in that book. Along with his tune, Bradbury added his own chorus "Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus Loves me..."[3] After publication the song became one of the most popular Christian hymns in churches around the world.

Poem by Anna Bartlett Warner
As originally published in 1860, it appeared in three stanzas, as follows:
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.[2]
Jesus loves me—this I know,
The poem and the hymn, or portions of them, have sometimes been revised. Some examples of this are
This hymn was titled "China" in some hymnals of the 19th century,[12] and was the inspiration for the name of the town of China, Maine.
On February 9, 2012, Whitney Houston and Kelly Price sang the song together. It was Houston's final performance before she died two days later in the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California.[13]
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.[2]
Hymn by William Batchelder Bradbur
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.
Jesus loves me—He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
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.[5]
Reuse and revision
- The book Jack Bauer's Having a Bad Day presented a version which alternated Yes, Jesus Loves Me with ... Loves Us and Loves You.[6]
- A message presented in the book Good Morning Message builds on the line refrain as follows: "Yes, Jesus loves me ... Yes, Jesus loves you ... allow Him to help you through your day, every day. ..." [7]
- The inspirational book From Chains to Change presented a version in which the line "Little ones to Him belong" was rendered as "Little ones to Him below".[8]
- The Song was used in an Ending of the 2011 PC-Game The Binding of Isaac (video game), in which the charakter Isaac sings it in a distorted way. [9]

On February 9, 2012, Whitney Houston and Kelly Price sang the song together. It was Houston's final performance before she died two days later in the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California.[13]
