My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine

For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
D G D A D G Asus A
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.
3.
I'll love Thee in life, and I'll love Thee in death,
I'll 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;
And sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now.
