100. My Jesus, I Love Thee

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!
