Mnemonic Singing: 

My gracious Redeemer,
my Savior art Thou,
if ever I love Thee,
my Jesus 'tis now.

Notes: 

This is not the same as ei that means "you are." Watch the accents here carefully, because eij does not have an accent. Like ejavn, eij always introduces a dependent clause, and therefore you will not find the main subject or verb of the sentence in the eij clause.
