I am so glad that our Father in heaven

by Philip Paul Bliss (1838–1876)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 423 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 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.

Refrain

I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

O, if there's only one song I can sing, When in His beauty I see the great King, This shall my song in eternity be: " O, what a wonder that Jesus loves me."
