1. Lord Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
  For Thee all the pleasures of sin I resign;
  My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou,
  If ever I love Thee, Lord 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, Lord 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, Lord Jesus, 'tis now.
4. In ages eternal of endless delight
  I'll ever adore Thee in glory so bright;
  I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
  If ever I loved Thee, Lord Jesus, 'tis now.
