This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Lord Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;

    For Thee all the pleasures of sin I resign;

    My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou,

    If ever I love Thee, Lord Jesus, 'tis now.

 

 2  I love Thee, because Thou hast first lovèd me,

    And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;

    I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow,

    If ever I loved Thee, Lord Jesus, 'tis now.

 

 3  I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in 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, Lord Jesus, 'tis now.

 

 4  In ages eternal of endless delight

    I'll ever adore Thee in glory so bright;

    I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,

    If ever I loved Thee, Lord Jesus, 'tis now.
