Representative Text

1 Christ is mine, my heart’s dear treasure,
Greater than all earthly store,
Filled with His untold abundance,
Yearns not now my heart for more.

Refrain:
Christ is mine, and every longing
Satisfies abundantly;
He’s my joy, my hope, my glory,
He is all, yes, all to me.

2 Christ is mine, my hope of glory,
Anchor of my trusting soul,
Holding fast while in the tempest,
Stormy waves around me roll. [Refrain]

3 Christ, the source of all my pleasure,
Now in Him my soul doth find
Joy unspeakable, exceeding
Earthly pleasures all combined. [Refrain]

4 Christ is mine, my loving Savior,
For He gave His life for me;
Ransomed thus from sinful bondage
I am His eternally. [Refrain]
