I Am His and He is Mine

One of my favorite hymns:

I Am His and He is Mine....

Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know;Gracious Spirit 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.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 songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine,Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine.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 lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign,While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.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.But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.
