Songtext von My Jesus, I Love Thee

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 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 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
