I AM HIS, AND HE IS MINE
1. Loved with
everlasting love,
Led by grace that
love to know;
Spirit, breathing
from above,
Thou hast taught me
it is so.
Oh, this full and
perfect peace!
Oh, this transport
all divine!
In a love which
cannot cease,
I am His, and He is
mine.
2. Heaven above is
softer blue,
Earth around is
sweeter green;
Something lives in
every hue
Christless eyes
have never seen;
Birds with gladder
songs o'erflow,
Flow'rs with deeper
beauties shine,
Since I know, as
now I know,
I am His, and He is
mine.
3. Things that once
were wild alarms
Cannot now disturb
my rest;
Closed in
everlasting arms,
Pillowed on the
loving breast.
Oh, to lie forever
here,
Doubt and care and
self resign,
While He whispers in
my ear,
I am His, and He is
mine.
4. His forever,
only His:
Who the Lord and me
shall part?
Ah, with what a
rest of bliss
Christ can fill the
loving heart.
Heav'n and earth
may fade and flee,
Firstborn light in
gloom decline;
But, while God and
I shall be,
I am His, and He is
mine.
