Jesus loves you, children dear,
Loves you each and every one.
Loves you in the early morn,
Loves you when the day is done.
When, tired out, you lay your heads
On the pillows soft and white,
Jesus loves with tender care,
Watching o'er you through the night.
Jesus loves you when you're well.—
When you romp and sing and play,—
When your little hearts are glad
All the live-long happy day.
But if sickness shuts you in,
And the days seem long and drear,
Jesus loves you, oh! so much,
And He's always very near.
Jesus loves you when you try
Very hard to do His will.
But if you should naughty be,
This same Jesus loves you still.
Loves you with a love so great
That He left His home on high,
And to this poor world came down
For your sins to bleed and die.
Yes, He loves you all the time.
Do you love Him in return?
May the spark His love has fired
In your hearts, more brightly burn.
