1 Would you know why I love Jesus?
Why He is so dear to me?
‘Tis because my blessed Jesus
From my sin has ransomed me.

This is why I love my Jesus,
This is why I love him so,
He atoned for my transgressions,
He has washed me white as snow.

2 Would you know why I love Jesus?
Why He is so dear to me?
‘Tis because the blood of Jesus
Fully saves and cleanses me. [Refrain]

3 Would you know why I love Jesus?
Why He is so dear to me?
‘Tis because, amid temptation,
He supports and strengthens me. [Refrain]

4 Would you know why I love Jesus?
Why He is so dear to me?
‘Tis because, in ev’ry conflict,
Jesus gives me victory. [Refrain]

5 Would you know why I love Jesus?
Why He is so dear to me?
‘Tis because my Friend and Saviour
He will ever, ever be. [Refrain]
