Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 321.

Verse 1

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine; For Thee all the follies of sin I resign. My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou; If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

Verse 2

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me, And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree; I love Thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

Verse 3

I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee ’til death, And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath; And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow, If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

Verse 4

In mansions of glory and endless delight, I’ll ever adore thee in heaven so bright; I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow; If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
