I love Jesus, for He saved my soul; From His cross the tides of mercy roll; Long and far He sought me, when astray; Now He leads me in His own right way.

I love Jesus; He’s my King; Of His mercy I will sing; I will follow in His paths of light, Till I see Him in His glory bright.

I love Jesus; He’s my King; Of His mercy I will sing; I will follow in His paths of light, Till I see Him in His glory bright.
