by Johann Wilhelm Hey (1789 - 1854)

Wen Jesus liebt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wen Jesus liebt, wen Jesus liebt,
der kann allein recht fröhlich seyn
und nie betrübt.

Im Himmel noch, im Himmel noch
Auf Gottes Thron liebt Gottes Sohn
Die Seinen doch.

Und giebt und schenkt, und giebt und schenkt
Der Gaben viel ohn' Maaß und Ziel,
und sorgt und denkt,

Und liebt auch mich, und liebt auch mich,
Giebt auf mich Acht; drum Tag und Nacht
So froh bin ich.
