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 lov-ed me,
And purchased my pardon, from sin set me free!
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 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 praise forever
My Savior art Thou!
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
Ending:
I’ll sing praise forever,
My Savior art Thou.
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
