Anna Bartlett Warner 1827-1915 It was her custom to write for her students a fresh hymn once a month. Her poem “Jesus Loves Me” was first spoken to a dying child, John Fox. Her Hymns include: Jesus Loves Me O Little Child, Lie Still and Sleep One More Day’s Work for Jesus We Would See Jesus The World Looks Very Beautiful
Anna Bartlett Warner Wrote “Jesus Loves Me” Jesus loves me this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him belong They are weak but he is strong. A second verse, not usually found in song books went this way: Jesus loves me! Loves me still, Though I’m very weak and ill, That I might from sin be free Bled and died upon the tree.
William BradburyWrote “Just As I Am”1816-1868 In 1862 he found the poem wrote the tune, added "Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus Loves me..." and published it. Within months, this song became amazingly popular. Even now 140 years later, "Jesus Loves Me" is still the No. 1 spiritual song in the hearts of children around the world.
Karl Barth The great theologian was asked by a reporter if he could summarize the greatest spiritual truth. Dr. Barth thought for a moment and then said:"Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
Mao Tse Sung tried to crush the Church. In 1972, a message leaked out: “This I know, people are well". The Communist authorities did not understand the message. But Christians all around the world knew it referred to “Jesus Loves Me.” Miraculously the Chinese Church, wasn’t crushed, it boomed under persecution, growing from 1.5 million believers to 80 million by 1993.
