One morning this week.
One evening this week.
🎶 🎶 🎶
People think of the hymn Jesus Loves Me as a childs song,
But we still sing it at my church and this morning was one of those times.
1. Jesus loves me this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong.
The are weak but
He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus Loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
The Bible tells me so
Most EVERYONE knows the first verse, but do you know the other three verses?
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.
Chorus
3. Jesus take this heart of mine.
Make it pure and wholly thine.
Thou has bled and died for me.
I will hence-forth live for Thee.
Chorus
4. Jesus loves me He will stay.
Close beside me all the way.
He's prepared a home for me,
And someday His face I'll see.
Chorus
This song written by Anna B. Warner
and was never really written as a song to be published.
Her and her sister Susan wrote a book together, Say and Seal in 1860.
In the book a little boy is dying and his Sunday school teacher
comforts him by singing this little song.
When hymn writer William Bradbury read the words in the book,
he put them to music and it has become the best known children's hymn.
Have a Blessed Sunday.
Jesus loves me and He loves you too.❤️
👩🏻🦳Happyone 🙂

I did not know the story behind the song. Thanks for posting it.
Interesting history on the hymn and more excellent photos!
Even though it is usually sung by children, it has a wonderful and true message for all of us.
Beautiful sky images and such a precious song.
...a beautiful beginning and ending!
I love this song..my children sure like it, it's a song that we sing in church when the children go for their liturgy classes.
Wow, gorgeous sky, so colorful! Take care, have a wonderful week!
What an interesting history for that hymn. I didn't even realize there were more verses. I've only every heard the first one.
I enjoyed learning the history behind the song. Never have heard all the verses, which is a shame since they are lovely.
So beautiful.
