1. If God is mine, then present things, And things to come, are mine; Yea, Christ, his word, and Spirit too, And glory all divine. | 2. If he is mine, then from his love, He every trouble sends; All things are working for my good, And bliss his rod attends | 3. If he is mine, I need not fear The rage of earth and hell; He will support my feeble frame, Their utmost force repel. | 4. If he is mine, let friends forsake,— Let wealth and honors flee— Sure he, who giveth me himself, Is more than these to me. | 5. If he is mine, I'll boldly pass Through death's tremendous vale: He is a solid comfort, when All other comforts fail. | 6. Oh, tell me, Lord! that thou art mine; What can I wish beside? My soul shall at the fountain live, When all the streams are dried. | |
