#839

 

 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.

    Heaven 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.
