"Jesus Loves Me" is a Christian hymn written by Anna Bartlett Warner (1827–1915). [1] The lyrics first appeared as a poem in the context of an 1860 novel called Say and Seal , written by her older sister Susan Warner (1819–1885), in which the words were spoken as a comforting poem to a dying child.

He died on January 7, 1868, in Bloomfield, New Jersey (now Montclair, New Jersey) at age 51. [1] He was buried in Bloomfield Cemetery in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
The best known of her hymns is almost certainly "Jesus Loves Me".Some stanzas of this appear in modern hymnals rewritten by David Rutherford McGuire. She wrote some books jointly with her sister Susan Warner (Elizabeth Wetherell) which included Wych Hazel (1853), Mr. Rutherford's Children (1855) and The Hills of the Shatemuc (1856). [2]
The song is gospel-influenced and shares both musical and thematic similarities with such American hymns as Jesus Loves Me. It does not, however, discuss Christian themes of redemption but merely gives a testament of faith ("he's lookin' down on us, from up above / and he's givin' us all his love").
