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 Calvarys tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus tis now.
3. Ill love Thee in life, and Ill love
Thee in death,
Ill 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,
Ill ever adore Thee in Heaven so bright;
And sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus tis now.
