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’ll 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.
