If God is mine, then present things

Benjamin Beddome (1787) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 22:14

Verse 1

If God is mine, then present things And things to come are mine; Yea, Christ, his word, and Spirit too, And glory all divine.

Verse 2

If he is mine, then from his love He very trouble sends; All things are working for my good, And bliss his rod attends.

Verse 3

If he is mine, let friends forsake, Let wealth and honor flee: Sure he who giveth me himself Is more than these to me.

Verse 4

Oh, tell me, Lord, that thou art mine; What can I wish beside? My soul shall at the fountain live, When all the streams are dried.
