Verses by David R. McGuire (1929-1971)
Jesus loves me! This I know, Jesus loves me still today, Additional or Alternate Verses:
Jesus loves me when I’m good, Jesus loves me! He will stay Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics:
Jesus loves me! See His grace! Jesus loves me! God’s own Son Jesus loves me! He is near.
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.
When I do the things I should,
Jesus loves me when I’m bad,
Though it makes Him very sad.
Close beside me all the way;
If I love Him when I die,
He will take me home on high.
On the cross He took my place.
There He suffered and He died,
That I might be glorified.
Over sin the vict’ry won.
When I die, saved by His grace,
I shall see Him face to face.
He is with His Church so dear.
And the Spirit He has sent
By His Word and Sacrament.
