Return to Eight-Bell Hymns (General)

Jesus Loves Me (JESUS LOVES ME) – Eight handbells

Jesus Loves Me quite possibly is the best known of all the hymns that children sing in church. It has a simple tune and lyrics made of words that even the youngest can understand, yet in its entirety presents a phenomenally deep message: “Jesus loves me” (and you, and everyone else as well).

Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

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, this I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”
