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 ’til 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.
