My Jesus, I Love Thee Songtext
von Martin J. Nystrom

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, 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 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.
