  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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
