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.
