| Jesus, Thou art mine forever,Dearer far than earth to me;
 Neither life nor death shall sever
 Those sweet ties which bind to Thee.
 All were drear to me and lonelyIf Thy presence gladdened not;
 While I sing to Thee, Thee only,
 Mine’s an ever blissful lot.
 Thou alone art all my Treasure,Who hast died that I may live;
 Thou conferrest noblest pleasure,
 Who dost all my sins forgive.
 Brightest gems and fairest flowersLose their beauty in Thy frown;
 Joy and peace, like balmy showers,
 In Thy smile come gently down.
 Jesus, Thou art mine forever;Never suffer me to stray.
 Let me in my weakness never
 Cast my priceless pearl away.
 Lamb of God, I do implore Thee,Guard, support me, lest I fall.
 Let me evermore adore Thee;
 Be my everlasting All.
