My Jesus I Love Thee
F Bb F C7 F
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
Bb F C7 F
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
Bb F C7 F Bb F C7
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
F Bb F C7 F
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
I love Thee because Thou has 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 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.
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.
