Representative Text

1 I am glad that Jesus loves me,
Glad that in his word I find,
How he came the lost to ransom,
Come to earth to save mankind.

Refrain:
I am glad,
I am glad,
I am glad that Jesus loves me,
Oh, wondrous love, he died for me.

2 How can I be sad or lonely,
When this Savior is my friend,
For he has most surely promised,
All my pathway to attend. [Refrain]

3 Let me tell with joy the story,
Tell it o’er and o’er again,
Tell it till its stains shall linger
In my heart a glad refrain. [Refrain]

Hall, Jane E., of Battleborough, Vermont, has in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 18S1, under the initials "J. E. H.," (1) "The love that Jesus had for me" (Love of Jesus); (2) "We shall have a new name in that land" (The New Name). The music in Sankey to these hymns is also by the same person. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) Go to person page >
