JESUS is mine and I am his,
In union we are joined;
Oh! how sweet to me it is,
To feel my Saviour mine.
In union we are joined;
Oh! how sweet to me it is,
To feel my Saviour mine.
My friends, for you I long,
That you might happy be;
I long to hear you sing the song,
Jesus has died for me.
That you might happy be;
I long to hear you sing the song,
Jesus has died for me.
HOW short and fleeting are my days,
And chiefly spent in sinful ways,"
O may those few which now remain,
Be spent eternal life to gain.
And chiefly spent in sinful ways,"
O may those few which now remain,
Be spent eternal life to gain.
I'm-passing through this vale of tears,
Beneath the weight of numerous years,
My body manned, what have I done,
Beneath the light of yonder fun,
Beneath the weight of numerous years,
My body manned, what have I done,
Beneath the light of yonder fun,
The bloom of life I spent in vain,
Some earthly treasures to obtain,
But earthly treasures took their flight,
For which I loboured day and night.
Some earthly treasures to obtain,
But earthly treasures took their flight,
For which I loboured day and night.
I've ranged the fields of battle o'er,
Midst dying groans and cannon's roar,
Whilst death surrounded all the plain,
I'm spared amidst the thousands slbin,
Midst dying groans and cannon's roar,
Whilst death surrounded all the plain,
I'm spared amidst the thousands slbin,
I've been preserved by sea and land,
By the Almighty's gracious hand.
By the Almighty's gracious hand.
