Lyics

My God, I am thine, what a comfort divne!

What a blessing to know that my Jesus is mine!

In the heavenly Lamb, thrice happy I am,

And my heart doth rejoice at the sound of his name.



True pleasures abound in the rapturous sound,

And whoever hath found it, hath paradise found;

My Jesus to know, and feel his love flow,

'Tis life everlasting, 'tis heaven below.



Yet onward I haste to the heavenly feast,

That, that is the fullness, but this is the taste;

And this I shall prove, till with joy I remove,

To the heaven of heavens, in Jesus' sweet love.
