715. Loved with everlasting love

Author: George W Robinson 1838-77

Loved with everlasting love,
led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above,
you have taught me it is so:
O what full and perfect peace,
joy and wonder 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. Heaven above is softer blue,
earth around is richer green;
something lives in every hue,
Christless eyes have never seen:
songs of birds in sweetness grow,
flowers 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. His for ever, his alone!
Who the Lord from me shall part?
With what joy and peace unknown
Christ can fill the longing heart!
Heaven 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.
