My Jesus! I love Thee! I love Thee!
No lover with Thee can compare;
Thou sweet Rose of Sharon so fragrant,
Thou One amongst thousands so fair.
Refrain
I love Thee! I love Thee!
Thou dear, dying Savior,
Giving Thy life a lost world to regain.
I love Thee, I love Thee,
Thou living Redeemer,
Risen, ascended, and coming to reign!
My Jesus! Thy blood hath redeemed me,
From sin and the curse set me free;
Now I am Thy purchased possession,
I love Thee, for dying for me.
Refrain
My Jesus! dear living Redeemer,
Thy grace fully justifies me,
And I am a child of the Father;
He loves me, e’en as He loves Thee!
Refrain
My Jesus, what riches in glory
Are mine now, and ever to be;
In Thee dwells the Godhead in fullness,
And I am complete, Lord, in Thee.
