Lord Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine

Lord Jesus

I love Thee

I know Thou art mine;

For Thee all the pleasures of sin I resign;

My gracious Redeemer

my Savior art Thou

If ever I loved Thee

Lord 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

Lord Jesus

’tis now.

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

Lord Jesus

’tis now.

In ages eternal of endless delight

I’ll ever adore Thee in glory so bright;

I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow

If ever I loved Thee

Lord Jesus

’tis now.
