About this Hymn
Taking its cue from Song of Solomon 2:16 and 6:3 ("I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine"), this beautiful hymn is a wellspring of love and comfort. With this assurance of love the writer says we experience the world in a different way; everything seems sweeter and more radiant. May you find this peace and rest in your own journey with Christ.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know; Spirit, breathing from above, thou hast 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.
Verse 2
Heav'n above is softer 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.
Verse 3
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.
