A Hymn For The Lord's Day

I Am His, and He Is Mine

by George Wade Robinson 1838-1877

Loved with everlasting love

Led by grace that love to know:

Spirit, breathing from above,

Thou hast has taught me it is so!

Oh, this full and perfect peace!
Oh, this transport all divine!
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'er-flow,

Flow'rs with deeper beauties shine,

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.

Oh, to lie forever here,

Doubt, and care, and self resign,

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,

First-born light in gloom decline;

But while God and I shall be,

I am His, and He is mine.
