Jesus Loves Me
Time for another song. Practice reading the words out loud with the Professor, and then sing them together.
I am not going to ask you to memorize the words as part of your vocabulary yet; that will come in the next session. But I will use dashes between words so you can figure out what the words mean. For example, "to-him" is the translation of αὐτῷ in the third line.
Here is the first stanza
| ὁ Ἰησοῦς με ἀγαπᾷ, | Jesus me he-loves |
| ὅτι γραφὴ κηρύσσει· | because Scripture proclaims; |
| παιδία εἰσιν αὐτῷ, | Children belong to-him, |
| ἀσθένουσι δύναται. | They-are-weak; he-is-strong |

Do you see the dot after κηρύσσει? That is a Greek semi-colon. (The English semi-colon is ";".)
