    D  G     D             A            D
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
      D   G       D  Bm     Em  A    D
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
    D   G    D  A         D Em        A
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou,
   D  G    D     Bm       G  A        D
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

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.

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.

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.

(Optional: modulate to E on last verse)
