My Jesus, I Love Thee

(W. Featherstone, A. Gordon)

~

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.

~

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.

~

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.
