Author: William R. Featherston Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #210 (1991) 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. Scripture: John 21:15 Languages: English Tune Title: GORDON
