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.
