My Jesus I love Thee I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now
So I will love you as long as I live
And I will praise you for all eternity
For by your grace, I will be all I can be
Only because you first love me.
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
So I will love you as long as I live
And I will praise you for all eternity
For by your grace, I will be all I can be
Only because you first love me.
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
if ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now
