Music: , 1905.
This song had the following footnote in Revival Hymns, edited by Daniel Towner and Charles M. Alexander (Chicago, Illinois: The Bible Institute Colportage Association, 1905):
In one of the very first meetings of the wonderful revival in Wales, a young lady arose and said, “I do love Jesus with all my heart.” With this confession the Holy Ghost fell on the people in mighty power.
“I do love Jesus with all my heart”
Because of what He did for me;
His life for me on the cross He gave,
He died for me on Calvary.
Refrain
I cannot but love Him Who died for me;
I cannot but love Him, so true is He;
I love Him and ever will His Name confess,
My Life, my Lord and my Righteousness!
“I do love Jesus with all my heart”
Because of what He does for me:
His depthless grace all my life enfolds,
And guards in love’s true liberty.
Refrain
“I do love Jesus with all my heart”
Because of what He is to me:
My Light, my Life, my abiding Strength,
My sure Defense, my King is He.
Refrain
Will you love Jesus with all your heart?
He bore your sins on Calvary;
Repent, believe, Him as Lord confess;
Then you shall live eternally.
Refrain
