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.
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'erflow, Flow'rs 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 forever here, Doubt and care and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, 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. 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.
Oh...here I am again listening to this wonderful song. Exactly a year ago I wrote a comment with this song. I just hope and pray that I can give my best for Jesus....my utmost for His highest! Oh Lord...thank you for loving me.....

The new melody takes a bit of getting used to, but it's not bad; and besides, the great truths in the hymn aren't changed. And I've never heard that third verse, although I've spent quite a bit of time resigning doubt, care and self recently.
Wonderful post!

This is a gloriously beautiful old Gospel hymn rendered pale and not glorious, at all, in its "contemporary" tune! So sad! Plus, a lot of little girl voices singing in unison just is not a good sound. Why change the original melody, which was based, I believe, on a Chopin theme?!

I am HIS and He is mine! Oh closed in everlasting arms, how precious is your everlasting LOVE. Thank You Lord, your original intention with man will be accomplished in the New Jerusalem.
