Christ is mine, and I am his;
by William Hammond·1814·Meter 7s
Based on Song 2:16
1
Christ is mine, and I am his;
Centre, source, and sum of bliss;
Earth and hell in vain combine
Me and Jesus to disjoin.
2
Thou my fortress art and tower;
Having thee, I want no more.
Strong in thy full strength I stand;
None can pluck me from thy hand.
3
Nothing in myself I am;
All I have is in the Lamb.
While his face on me does shine,
All in heaven and earth is mine.
4
In my Jesus' arms secure,
To the end I shall endure;
Join with me, ye angels, join!
Praise his name in hymns divine.
