Loved with everlasting love, 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.
Heaven above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green-
Something lives in every hue, Christless eyes have never seen.
Birds with glad-der songs o’er flow, Flowers with deep-er beauties shine,
Since I know as now I know, I am His and He is mine.
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
His forever, only His; Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss, Christ can fill the longing 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.
