[4] As originally published in 1860, it appeared in four 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—he who died Heaven's gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, Let his little child come in.

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 who died Heaven's gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.
