My Jesus, I Love Thee

from The Lo​-​Fi Hymnal II by Tyler James Cook

/

about

Number 317 in the _Free Will Baptist Hymn Book_, "My Jesus, I Love Thee" is a popular invitation/altar call piece. Text by William R. Featherston (1846-1873), who wrote the piece upon his conversion at the age of sixteen. Adoniram Judson Gordon (1836-1895) rewrote the original tune, giving us the moving song of response that makes the hymn so beloved today.

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 deathdew 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.
