Hymn History:  Jesus Loves Even Me.  

​Philip Bliss was a dynamic hymn writer and song leader, and contemporary of Moody and Sankey. During the many evangelistic crusades that he was in involved in, he noticed that the hymn Oh, How I Love Jesus was sung very often.
 
After  one  night  he started to consider the song

and  started  to  instead  think  not  of  his POOR

love for Jesus but instead of Jesus GREAT love

for him. That evening he wrote the hymn "Jesus

Loves Even Me."  I'm  sure  that there  are many

songs  that  Bliss  today  is  singing  in  Heaven,

but he finally was able to tell Jesus face to face, "O what a wonder that You love me," when he died in a train accident.  He was just 38 years old when he died.

The Lyrics:  Jesus Loves Even Me.


I am so glad that our Father in heav'n tells of His love in the Book He has giv'n;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see - This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Tho 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.

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!"I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus love me, Jesus loves me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me.
