Jesus, Thou art mine forever

Matthias Loy (1779) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 73:24

Verse 1

Jesus, thou art mine forever, Dearer far than earth to me; Neither life nor death shall sever Those sweet ties which bind to thee.

Verse 2

Thou alone art all my treasure, Who hast died that I might live; Thou conferest noblest pleasure, Who dost all my sins forgive.

Verse 3

Brightest gems and fairest flowers Lose their beauty in thy frown; Joy and peace, like balmy showers, In thy smile come gently down. A-men.

Verse 4

Lamb of God! I do implore thee, Guard, support me, lest I fall; Let me evermore adore thee; Be my everlasting All. Amen.
