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 has 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 and I
Will love Thee in death
And praise Thee as long as Thou
Hast 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
