Story behind the song
A gentle tune to words expressing the peace of Christ, that peace "which passes all understanding", given freely to all who come to Him.
Lyrics
Loved with everlasting love,
Led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so.
O this full and perfect peace,
O 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,
Flowers with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His, and He is mine.
His for ever, 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,
First-born light in gloom decline;
But while God and I shall be,
I am His, and He is mine.
