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.
For thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
