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
