Author: William R. Featherstone Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #496 (2018) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine Lyrics: 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, 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'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.
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. Topics: Christ Passion and Atoning Death of; Christian Life; Consecration and Obedience; Forsaking the World; Heaven anticipation of; Love For Christ; Youth Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:8 Languages: English Tune Title: CARITAS
