1 Te iubesc Isuse, ştiu că eşti al meu;
A lumii plăcere n’o mai doresc eu.
Cât bucuria ta, alt’ nu preţuesc,
De team iubit cândva acum te iubesc.

2 Ca să mă răscumperi, pecruceai murit,
Te iubesc căci spinii fruntea ţiau rănit.
Te iubesc căci tu pe mine m’ai iubit,
De team iubit cândva, acuma este!

3 Te vreau în viaţa’n moarte te iu besc!
Te preţuesc Doamne pe cât timp trăesc!
Si când sudoarea morţii m’acopere,
Voi zice: Isuse, acum te iubesc.

4 În faţa mărirei, pe tronui ceresc,
Uitaîmivoi Jalea, ce’n urmami găsesc.
Pe cap purtând coroana vieţioi cânta:
De team iubit cândva, este acuma!

J Gordon, an evangelist, founder of Gordon College & Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, found the hymn in a 1870 London hymnal and was impressed with the words, but did not like the tune, so he composed the melody that has been used with the hymn ever since.

GORDON (Gordon)

In 1870 Featherstone's text came to the attention of Adoniram J. Gordon (b. New Hampton, NH, 1836; d. Boston, MA, 1895), an evangelical preacher who was compiling a new Baptist hymnal. Because he was unhappy with the existing melody for this text, Gordon composed this tune; as he wrote, "in a moment…
