My Jesus I love thee lyrics

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 ’til 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.
