My Jesus, I Love Thee

My Jesus, I love Thee I know Thou art mine

For Thee all the follies of sin I resign

My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me

And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree

I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now

I love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death

And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath

And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow:

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight

I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright

I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now
