Over deze songtekst:
William Featherston was 16 jaar oud toen hij dit lied schreef in 1864. De muziek werd in 1876 gecomponeerd.
Het lied kent 4 coupletten. Het 3de couplet zingt Amy niet. Dat couplet gaat als volgt:
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, my Jesus, 'tis now
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 I love Thee because Thou has 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 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
