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;

And singing Thy praises, before Thee I'll bow;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now...
