I Am His and He is Mine

590 I Am His and He is Mine

1 Loved with everlasting love,
   led by grace that love to know;
   gracious Spirit from above,
   Thou dost taught me it is so!
   O this full and precious 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 deeper blue;
   earth around is sweeter green;
   something lives in ev'ry 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 Taste the goodness of the Lord:
   welcomed home to His embrace,
   all His love, as blood outpoured,
   seals the pardon of His grace.
   Can I doubt His love for me,
   when I trace that love's design?
   By the cross of Calvary
   I am His and He is mine.
   By the cross of Calvary
   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,
   firstborn 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.
