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 purchsed my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love Thee for wearing the 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 sing with a glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now.
