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."
