The Rev. Dr. Jacob Chamberlain, who for many years has been working among the Hindus, writes as follows regarding this hymn, long one of the most popular children’s songs in the world: “Many years ago I translated into Telegu the children’s hymn, ‘Jesus loves me’ and taught it to the children of our day-school. Scarcely a week later, as I was going through the narrow streets of the native town on horseback, I heard singing that sounded natural, down a side street. I stopped to listen, cautiously drawing up to the corner, where unobserved I could look down the street and see and hear. And there was a little heathen boy, with heathen men and women standing around him, singing away at the top of his voice: ‘Jesus loves me this I know…’
As he completed the verse some one asked the question: ‘Sonny, where did you learn that song?’ ‘Over at the Missionary School,’ was the answer. ‘Who is that Jesus, and what is the Bible?’ ‘Oh! the Bible is the book from God, they say, to teach us how to get to heaven, and Jesus is the name of the divine Redeemer that came into the world to save us from our sins; that is what the missionaries say.’ ‘Well, the song is a nice one. Come, sing us some more.’ And so the little boy went on—a heathen himself, and singing to the heathen—about Jesus and his love. ‘That is preaching the Gospel by proxy,’ I said to myself, as I turned my pony and rode away, well satisfied to leave my little proxy to tell his interested audience all he himself knew, and sing to them over and over that sweet song of salvation.”
Sankey, pp. 179-80
In 1891, when my grandfather, Rev. Harutune S. Jenanyan, took his wife and little daughter on a perilous and dangerous missionary journey from Tarsus, Asia Minor, the city of St. Paul, to Sivas in Armenia [now Turkey], they travelled on horse-back through robber-infested country for fourteen days. Two of the leading robber chiefs on that territory were Chollo, whose "name cast terror on every side" since he had successfully evaded pursuing Government forces for many months, and Kara Agha, a famous Koorish chief, whose name caused even the fearsome Chollo to tremble. Harutune took his small party directly into the heart of Kara Agha’s country, telling those he met enroute that he was going to be Agha’s guest in his own village. When they reached the brigand’s head-quarters, the missionary asked that they be received as guests for the night. The surprised robber chief gave them accommodations, entertaining Harutune in his own spacious tent while his wife, Helene, and their little daughter, Grace were cared for in another tent by the women of the village. The next morning, before taking their leave, the missionary asked for permission to read a portion of the Holy Scripture, and then offered a prayer. Seeing that the chief was somewhat affected, he then said, "Do you wish to have the little child sing for you?" The chief replied, "Oh yes; can she?" Then little Grace, only three-and-a-half years old, came forward and stood before the tall old man and sang two songs she had recently learned in the Sunday School in Tarsus, singing them in the native tongue, "Jesus loves me, this I know" and "I want to be an angel". The chief was so deeply touched, that he sent his own son, Bekkeer Agha, mounted on a handsome Arabian steed, to lead the small missionary party through the rest of his territory.
Emurian, p. 61
Jesusloves me—this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong—
They are weak, but He is strong.
Jesus loves me—He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me—loves me still,
Though I’m very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high
Comes to watch me where I lie.
Jesus loves me—He will stay
Close beside me all the way,
Then His little child will take
Up to Heaven for His dear sake.
Refrain
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

這首歌可以作為破冰遊戲
唱到第四遍時歌詞變得相當拗口（笑）
《Down In My Heart 》在旋律上也相當接近《喜樂如旗》
《喜樂如旗 / Joy is the flag》
詞曲：Brian Konzelman, 1979.
喜樂如旗正飄揚
從我心中的城堡
因有主在我裡面居住
（故）我要高舉起主
讓世人看見
因有主在我裡面居住
Joy is the flag flown high From the castle of my heart When the King is in residence there
(So) let it fly in the sky Let the whole world know That the King is in residence there.

I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of a fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream - I have a dream I have a dream, a fantasy To help me through reality And my destination makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness still another mile I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Rasa sayang, hey!, Rasa sayang sayang hey, Hey lihat nona jauh, Rasa sayang sayang hey!
Buah cempedak di luar pagar, Ambil galah tolong jolokkan, Saya budak baru belajar, Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan,
Pulau pandan jauh ke tengah, Gunung daik bercabang tiga, Hancur badan dikandung tanah, Budi yang baik dikenang juga,
Dua tiga kucing berlari, Mana sama si kucing belang, Dua tiga boleh ku cari, Mana sama abang seorang,
Pisang emas dibawa berlayar, Masak sebiji di atas peti, Hutang emas boleh dibayar, Hutang budi dibawa mati,
I've got that loving feeling, hey!, I've got that loving feeling, hey!, See that girl in the distance, I've got that loving feeling hey!,
The cempedak tree is across the fence, Please take a stick and poke it down for me, I'm just a new guy trying to learn, So if i'm wrong then please tell me.
Pandan island far in midst, With the three peaked Daik mountain, While the body decomposes in earth, Good deeds remain to be remembered.
Two or three cats are running around, With the striped one which can vie, Two or three men woo I may, Which of them with you can vie.
Pisang emas brought on a journey, One ripens on a box,
If gold is owed, it can be repaid, But if it is gratitude, it is carried to the grave.
