Indeed, a few hours later, little Johnny Fax went to be with the Lord, the One who loved him so much. With this he sought to comfort the final moments of the dying lad. Linden readily does so, and picking up the feverish and very sick little boy, walks slowly back and forth across the room trying to console him.Īs Faith listens, she hears John Linden sing a beautiful song which neither she nor Johnny have ever heard before: Linden, who was also the Sunday School teacher, to take him up in his strong arms and comfort him. Johnny’s condition becomes critical and he asks Mr.

Jesus loves me loves me still, When I'm very weak and ill From His shining throne on high, Comes to watch me where I lie. Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The Bible tells me so. In Say and Seal, two of the characters, Faith Derrick and John Endecott Linden, are greatly concerned for a very sick little fellow named Johnny Fax. Jesus loves me He who died, Heaven's gate to open wide He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in. All kids voices, singing in a key that works for kids, at a tempo and length that will keep kids attention. The poem, which is now an all-time favorite hymn, first appeared within the pages of the Warner girls’ novel. The 2-color computer animated silhouette worship leader keeps the focus on the song & the motions, so kids will retain and recall this song everywhere they go. But, as long as “Jesus Loves Me” is still sung by children, it will never be entirely forgotten. However, even the very best of novels remain popular for only a limited time, and Say and Seal eventually went the way of all the rest. The two young women were very talented writers and in 1859 published a novel entitled, Say and Seal. The hymn most closely associated with children is, of course, “Jesus Loves Me.” It was written in 1859 by Susan and Anna Warner, who were daughters of a New York lawyer.
