NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP

I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP

IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE

I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE

JESUS LOVES ME! THIS I KNOW

FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO

LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONG

THEY ARE WEAK BUT HE IS STRONG

(REFRAIN)

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

JOB:1-6

1Then Job answered the Lord, and said > > >

2I KNOW THOU CANST DO EVERY T H I N G; AND THAT NO THOUGHT CAN BE WITHHOLDEN FROM THEE; 3WHO IS HE THAT HIDETH COUNSEL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE? THEREFORE HAVE I UTTERED THAT I UNDERSTOOD NOT, THINGS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME, WHICH I KNEW NOT.4HEAR, I BESEECH THEE, AND I WILL SPEAK: I WILL DEMAND OF THEE, AND DECLARE THOU UNTO ME. 5I HAVE HEARD OF THEE BY THE HEARING OF THE EAR: BUT NOW MINE EYE SEETH THEE. 6WHEREFOR I ABHORE MYSELF, AND REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES.
