My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine
1) My Jesus, l love thee, l know thou art mine,
for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art thou:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
2) I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon onCalvary's tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
3) 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 deathdew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
4) 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.
