Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.659

First Line: My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine ,

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine !
For Thee all the pleasures of sin I resign ;
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou !
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, my Jesus, 'tis now !

3 I will 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 !

4 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!”
