1. My Jesus I love Thee, I know Thou art mine
    For Thee all the pleasures of sin I resign;
    My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou!
    “If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now!”

2. 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, I will love thee in death,
    And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath,
    And say, should the death- dew lie 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!”
