1 Would you know why I love Jesus,
Why he is so dear to me?
‘Tis because my blessèd Saviour
From my sins has ransomed me.

Refrain:
This is why I love my Jesus,
This is why I love him so:
He has pardoned 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.

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

4 Would you know why I love Jesus,
Why he is so dear to me?
‘Tis because in every conflict
Jesus gives me victory.

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.
