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 love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avalon/my_jesus_i_love_thee.html ]
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;
(Oh my saviour) If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
It is now (if ever I love my Saviour, 'tis now etc)
It is now (if ever I love my Saviour, 'tis now)
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 love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love that hymn. I'm a member of the seventh day adventist church in germany. It is hymn no. 299 in the hymnbook "christ in song" (printed in u. S. A. ) from 1908. The title in german is "mein jesus, ich lieb dich, ich weiß du bist mein... " translated by wilhelm michael in 1935.
