Along with the "fun" hymn we are listening to as part of our regular Ambleside Hymn study, we like to learn a hymn (of our own choosing) that we can worship with. This month, I am choosing My Jesus, I love Thee. I choose the Second Chapter of Acts version. Listen Here.
Learn the lyrics Here:
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 has 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.
I love studying hymns!!! Have you heard of the Mr. Pipes books? We just got one (they are a series) on hymns of the early church. They're really good! Fun living book to accompany it!
