All things are yours.
1 Cor. 3:21.
Beddome.
Since God is mine, then present things And things to come are mine; Yea, Christ, his word, and Spirit, too, And glory all divine. | 2 Since he is mine, then from his love He every trouble sends; All things are working for my good, And bliss his rod attends. | 3 Since he is mine, I need not fear The rage of earth and hell; He will support my feeble power, Their utmost force repel. | 4 Since he is mine, let friends forsake, Let wealth and honors flee: Sure, he who giveth me himself, Is more than these to me. | 5 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. | 6 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. | |
