Tekst

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 Heav'n above is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in ev’ry 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 for ever 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,
First-born light in gloom decline;
But, while God and I shall be,
I am His, and He is mine.

Laatste twee regels van elk vers herhalen als refrein.
