We're Going to a Mansion/Jesus Loves Me

Words by Anna Bartlett WarnerMusic by William B. BradburyWritten 1860 (text); 1862 (tune)Tune CHINA

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! 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 will stay
Close beside me all the way;
If I love Him, when I die
He will take me home on high.

Story Behind the Song

The title appears to be a medley; the identifiable standard hymn in it is “Jesus Loves Me.” Anna Bartlett Warner wrote the text as a poem in the 1860 novel Say and Seal, where it is spoken to a dying child. William B. Bradbury set it to music in 1862 and added the familiar refrain, making it one of the best-known children’s hymns in English-speaking churches.
