I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression, O sweet response to voice of love Divine; Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper, "Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine." |

I am the Lord's! It is the glad confession Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day, When love's "I will" accepted Him forever, "The Lord's," to love, to honor and obey. |

I am the Lord's! Yet teach me all it meaneth, All it involves of love and loyalty, Of holy service, absolute surrender, And unreserved obedience unto Thee. |

I am the Lord's! Yes; body, soul, and spirit, O seal them irrecoverably Thine; As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fulness Forever and forevermore art mine. |

I woke up this morning singing this wonderful hymn.
I am still learning as the Lord teaches me all that means to love Him.
2nd Corinthians 5:14-15 For the Love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died. And He died for all that those who live may no longer live to themselves but to Him who died for them and has been raised..

I am the Lord's!!
I haven't heard this hymn in years.
It was my dear loving wife's dearest testimony and hymn.
She is the Lord's!!
It was placed upon her tombstone at the time of her passing after we were married for one year.
I cannot express the hope I have when I see her standing with the Lord.

This is the tune to which I learned "We Rest on Thee, Our Shield and Our Defender"

We sung this hymn at my daughter's wedding.
The tune for this beautiful hymn was written for the beautiful wedding hymn, "O Perfect Love", by Dorothy F. Gurney. This tune was written specifically for the wedding of Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Princess Louise of Wales.
----------------------
Below are the words of that wedding hymn:
1. O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.
----------------------------
2. O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance,
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears not pain nor death.
--------------------------
3. Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
---------------------------
4. Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
Through Jesus Christ, Thy coeternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.

What a beautiful expression of assurance to the child of God!
I've loved Him since my teenage years and He is more precious now than ever.
A verse from this hymn was quoted on our calendar and I just had to look it up.
Thank you for this lovely rendering.
Lagos, Nigeria
Lord, thank You that I am Yours. I truly belong to You. Please teach me absolute surrender to You. I love You Lord.
