1. 1. 1. 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 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 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.
