1. 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.
?
2. 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.
?
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 death dew 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 glory so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
