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.  

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.  

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.
