1 Jesus, Thou art mine forever,
Dearer far than earth to me;
Neither life nor death shall sever
Those sweet ties which bind to Thee.
2 All were drear to me and lonely,
If Thy presence gladdened not;
While I sing to Thee-- Thee only,
Mine’s an ever blissful lot.
3 Thou alone art all my Treasure,
Who hast died that I might live,
Thou conferrest noblest pleasure,
Who dost all my sins forgive.
4 Brightest gems and fairest flowers
Lose their beauty in Thy frown;
Joy and peace, like balmy showers,
In Thy smile come gently down.
5 Jesus, Thou art mine forever,
Suffer not myself to stray;
Let me in my weakness never
Cast my priceless pearl away.
6 Lamb of God! I do implore Thee,
Guard, support me, lest I fall;
Let me evermore adore Thee,
Be my everlasting All.
