Author: William R. Featherston Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 2008 #552 (2008) 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.
And singing Thy praises, before Thee I'll bow,
"If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now." Topics: Commitment, Dedication, Consecration, Devotion; Praise, Adoration, Worship, Exaltation of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: GORDON
