Jesus Is Mine

M. Lowrie Hofford • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:16

Verse 1

Jesus is mine, forever mine— Not for a fleeting day, But when the earth and sea and skies And stars have pass'd away; He makes the promise in His word, To all who will believe; And grace sufficient for the day, He binds Himself to give.

Verse 2

Jesus is mine, forever mine— Then let me now rejoice; Let gladness fill my trusting heart, And tune my faltering voices; Let anxious care be laid aside, And banished every fear; If Christ is mine, and I am His, What danger can be near?

Verse 3

Jesus is mine, forever mine— What rapture must it be, When darkly thro' a glass no more His glory I shall see! When, in a land of cloudless skies And clear celestial light, I shall behold His lovely face, And worship in His sight.
