Lyrics

When your life is bur­dened with a load of care,
And you need a help­er good and true;
When your soul is sink­ing in­to dark des­pair,
Oh, re­mem­ber, Je­sus loves you.

Refrain

Oh, re­mem­ber, Je­sus loves you,
And He ev­er watch­es you;
When the days are long,
And ev­ery­thing goes wrong,
Oh, re­mem­ber, Je­sus loves you.

When the day is end­ed and the sha­dows fall,
And you feel dis­couraged, sad and blue;
When the lurk­ing tempt­er would your life en­thrall,
Oh, re­mem­ber, Je­sus loves you.

Refrain

When the world has left you, and you stand alone,
And you know not what is best to do,
Seek the one true help­er whose great love is known—
Oh, re­mem­ber, Je­sus loves you.
