Sheet music

  1. 1My 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.
  2. 2I love Thee, because Thou has first loved me,And purchsed my pardon on Calvary’s tree;I love Thee for wearingThe thorns on Thy brow:If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
  3. 3I’ll love Thee in life,I will love Thee in death,And praise thee as long asThou lendest me breath;And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow;If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
  4. 4In 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.
