LyicsSince God is mine, then present things
And things to come are mine;
Yea, Christ, his word, and Spirit, too,
And glory all divine.
Since he is mine, then from his love,
He very trouble sends;
All things are working for my good,
And bliss his rod attends.
Since he is mine, I need not fear
The rage of earth and hell;
He will support my feeble power,
Their utmost force repel.
Since he is mine, let friends forsake,
Let wealth and honors flee:
Sure, he who giveth me himself,
Is more than these to me.
Since he is mine, I'll boldly pass
Through death's dark, lonely vale:
He is my comfort and my stay,
When heart and flesh shall fail.
And now, O Lord, since thou art mine,
What can I wish beside?
My soul shall at the fountain live,
When all the streams are dried.
