1 The blessed Jesus loved me
Before I ever came
And tasted His salvation
Or tho’t upon His name
He called me and He wooed me,
And I am His today
As hand in hand we journey
Along the heav’nward way.

Refrain:
I love Him better ev’ry day.
I love Him better ev’ry day.
Close by His side I will abide
I love Him better ev’ry day.

2 Each day the path grows brighter,
And I can almost see
The mansions of the faithful,
Where I so soon shall be;
In that celestial city
I’ll sing unending praise
To my divine Redeemer,
Thro’ everlasting days. [Refrain]

3 O soul without this Savior,
Why will you longer roam,
When Jesus still invites you,
“Ye weary ones, come home”?
Today, if you accept Him,
He offers you His grace;
His providence shall guide you
Until you see His face. [Refrain]
