The Celebration Hymnal ‎#748

748. I Am His and He Is Mine

1 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.

2 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;
Flow'rs 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.

3 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.

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!
Heav'n 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.
But while God and I shall be,
I am His and He is mine.
