My Jesus I love Thee,
I know Thou art mine.
For Thee all the follies
of sin I resign.
My gracious redeemer,
My Saviour 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'll 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.
I'll sing with the glittering
crown on my brow
If ever I loved Thee
my Jesus 'tis now.
---Alternative verses---
My Jesus I love Thee,
I know Thou art mine.
For Thee all the pleasures
of sin I resign.
My gracious redeemer,
My Saviour art Thou
If ever I loved Thee,
my Jesus 'tis now.
I love Thee because Thou
hast first loved me
And purchased my pardon
when nailed to the 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'll love Thee in death
And praise Thee as long as
Thou lendest me breath
And say should the death dew
lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved Thee
my Jesus 'tis now.
