"Thine - Thine for Ever" Blessed: Bond
"I am Thine, save me." - Ps 119:94
VERSE 1
"Thine - Thine for ever" blessed: bond
That knits us, Lord to Thee;
May voice, and heart, and soul respond
Amen, so let it be.
VERSE 2
When this world strikes its dulcet harp,
And earth our heav'n appears,
Be "Thine for ever," clean and sharp,
God's trumpet in our ears.
VERSE 3
When sin in pleasure's soft disguise
Would work us deadliest harm,
May "Thine for ever" from the skies
Steal down, and break the charm.
VERSE 4
When satan flings his fiery darts
Against our weary shield,
May "Thine for ever" in our hearts
Forbid us faint or yield.
VERSE 5
Thine all along the flow'ry spring,
Along the summer prime,
Till autumn fades in welcoming,
The silver frost of time.
VERSE 6
"Thine, Thine for ever," body, soul,
Henceforth devote to Thee,
While everlasting ages roll;
Amen, so let it be.
