Light and Life Songs No. 4 ‎#11

11. Christ Is Mine

1 I have heavenly gladness in my soul today
Which all earthly joys outshine,
Driving all my sadness, doubts and fears away;
It is this that Christ is mine.

Chorus:
He is mine, His joy I know,
He abides with me where’er I go;
And His gentle presence doth my heart entwine,
Hallelujah! Christ is mine.

2 Other friends may help me, be most kind and true,
And their love I’ll ne’er resign,
but my Saviour is the best I ever knew—
Precious friend! I know He’s mine. [Chorus]

3 He is with me when no earthly friend is near,
He can feel my soul’s deep need,
And His tender love my fainting heart doth cheer;
O He is a friend indeed. [Chorus]

4 The sweet sunshine of His grace refreshes me
As I walk life’s path with Him;
At the journey’s end His blessed face I’ll see,
Where no shadows ever dim. [Chorus]
