I Am His and He is Mine

"Loved with everlasting love,
Led by grace that love to know--
Spirit, breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace,
O this transport all divine--
In a love which cannot cease,
I am His and He is mine.

"Heav'n above is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green;
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen!
Birds with gladder song o'er flow,
Flow'rs with deeper 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!
O to be 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 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."
