My Jesus, I Love Thee
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 heaven so bright. I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow, "If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now."
