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.
