No Coffee. “Jesus Loves Me” Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bi-ble tells me so; Lit-tle ones to Him belong, They are weak but He is strong. Refrain. Jesus loves me! He will stay Close be-side me all the way; He’s pre-pared a home for me, And some day His face I’ll see. Refrain. Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bi-ble tells me so. “Jesus Calls Us” Jesus calls us; o’er the tu-mult Of our life’s wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice sound-eth, Saying, “Chris-tian, fol-low Me.” Jesus calls us; by Thy mer-cies, Sav-ior, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine o-be-dience, Serve and love Thee best of all. A-men “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” What a Friend we have in Je-sus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a priv-i-lege to car-ry Ev-ery-thing to God in prayer! O what peace we of-ten for-feit, O what need-less pain we bear, All be-cause we do not car-ry Ev-ery-thing to God in prayer! Are we weak and heav-y la-den, Cum-bered with a load of care? Pre-cious Sav-ior, still our Ref-uge--- Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends de-spise, for-sake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a sol-ace there.
