1 I am so glad that our Father in Heaven
Tells of His love in the Book He has given,
Wonderful things in the Bible I see,
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
||: I am so glad that Jesus loves me, :||
Jesus loves even me.
2 Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me wherever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.
3 Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him,
Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem.
Yes! it was love made Him die on the tree,
Oh! I am certain that Jesus loves me.

1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace,
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
I love Jesus, hallelujah, &c.
2 Teach me some celestial measure,
Sung by ransomed hosts above;
Oh, the vast, the boundless treasure,
Of my Lord’s unchanging love.

1 There’s a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar,
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
||: In the sweet by-and-bye,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore. :||
2 We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign
In the land where the saved never die;
We shall rest free from sorrow and pain,
Safe at home in the sweet by-and-bye.
