Loved with everlasting love,
Led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so.
Oh, this full and perfect peace!
Oh, this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease,
I am His, and He is mine.

Heaven above is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green;
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen:
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow,
Flow’rs with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His, and He is mine.
Earth around is sweeter green;

Things that once were wild alarms
Cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms,
Pillowed on the loving breast.
Oh, to lie forever here,
Doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear,
I am His, and He is mine.
Cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms,
Pillowed on the loving breast.
Oh, to lie forever here,
Doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear,
I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His:
Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss
Christ can fill the loving heart.
Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
Firstborn light in gloom decline;
But, while God and I shall be,
I am His, and He is mine.
Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss
Christ can fill the loving heart.
Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
Firstborn light in gloom decline;
But, while God and I shall be,
I am His, and He is mine.

I am His and He is Mine
Strangers and Pilgrims Here Below
Weary with My Load of Sin.
One of his poems, The Disciple (by G. W. Robinson), Loveland and Other Poems reads this way:
O it is sweet here at Thy feet,
Sitting like children Thy wisdom to learn,
Watching that face perfect in grace,
Feeling our hearts in an ecstasy burn.
Earth with her eyes lofty and wise
Passes us by with a scorn in her looks;
We are but fools, hers are the schools,
Hers is the wisdom of sages and books.
O it is sweet here at Thy feet,
Drinking that wisdom which comes from above,
Seeing all night flee from Thy light,
Phantom philosophies vanish at Love.
Lo, it is dawn! darkness is gone!
How the land stretches in brightness away!
Still do men bare tapers with care,
Day is around, and they see not the day,
O it is sweet here they feet,
O it is sweet, and is pitiful, too!
Were they but wise! had they but eyes
Only to see that Creation is new!
Now we are filled, now we are stilled,
Past is the fainting and hushed is the strife,
Truth has her sphere, Christ, in Thy tear,
Love is the ocean, a river is Life.
Oh, it is sweet here at Thy Feet—
Here at Thy feet, for Thy wisdom is Thou;
Master divine, are we not Thine?
Wilt Thou not ever be with us now?

"In a love that cannot cease"
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

I am just realizing the lengths at which he loves me with an everlasting love.

As I was praying in the Spirit this song began to echo forth. I enjoyed singing it to the Father in this time of togetherness in prayer and communing. I have loved the thought from Song of Solomon 6:3, I am my beloved and my beloved is mine... amen and amen

What a glorious hymn of assurance. It used to be one of the hymns we loved to sign when I was at Lusaka Baptist Church. It. If a believer has Christ then all is well.
