Normally, the first verse of lyrics is missing, and so it is known as I love thee more commonly than O Jesus my Savior to thee I submit. Also, it should be noted that the tune name is officially called CHARITY, but alas is more commonly known as I LOVE THEE.

Description: First published in Ingalls' Christian Harmony, 1805, pp. 44-45, for three voices: Treble-Tenor-Bass. Likely a folk hymn, first published by Ingalls in 1805. Words by Sarah Jones, died 1794 (Keller n.d.), first published in Richard Allen, A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns, Philadelphia, 1801. Ingalls prints the words in meter 11 11. 11 11, but the way he wrote the music indicates meter 65. 65. D, with fermata at the end of each five or six syllables. The hymn also appears in meter 65. 65. D in early publications.
