22My Jesus, I Love Thee

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.

I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee 'til death,And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;And say 'till the death dew lies cold on my 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.
