I have said it, dear Lord Jesus, and Thou hast heard me say it.  And I am so glad I have said it.  I do not want ever to take it back, and Thou wilt not let me take it back.  I am to love Thee always now; and Thou wilt give me Thy Holy Spirit to shed abroad Thy love in my heart, so that it may be filled with love.  Fill me so full of Thy love that it may run over into everything I do, and that I may love everybody because I love Thee.

Yes, I will love Thee, dear Lord Jesus!

    “My Saviour, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine! 
    For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
    My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou;
    If ever I loved Thee, my Saviour, ’tis now!

    “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 Saviour, ’tis now!

    “I will 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, my Saviour, ’tis now!”
