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, it's 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 lendeth me breath
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus it's now
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, it's now
