Can you remember the first time you heard a piece of
music? I remember the first time I heard this piece, a
friend was playing it on oboe in church. This friend
hadn't been playing that long, but still, the melody
sounded beautiful. Equally beautiful words match the
tune--this hymn speaks of God's awesome love, the
delights a Christian has in Him, and the assurance that
once saved, always saved. I hope you enjoy it as much
as I do!

1. Loved with everlasting love,
Led by grace that love to know—
Spirit, breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace,
O this transport 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. 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;
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!
O to lie forever here,
Doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear—
I am His and He is mine;
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!
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;
But while God and I shall be,
I am His and He is mine.
