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.
