1 My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine, 
for thee all the follies of sin I resign; 
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou; 
if ever I loved thee, if ever I loved thee,
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now! 

2 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, if ever I loved thee,
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now! 

3 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, if ever I loved thee,
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now!
