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 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.

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.
