Loved with everlasting love.

					7.7.7.D.


1	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 ev’ry hue
	Christless eyes have never seen;
	Bird’s with deeper beauty 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.
