134. Loved with everlasting love, led by grace
Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know,
Spirit, breathing from above, thou 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.
2 Heaven 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 Flowers with deeper beauties shine
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;
Oh, to lie for ever here! Doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear I am His, and He is mine.
4 His for ever, only His; who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart.
Heaven 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.
