C            F        G               C     C         F         G                C
Long did I toil, and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove, and found no certain home;

C          Am         Em       G          Dm    Dm           C               F         E
At last I sought them in His sheltering breast, Who opes His arms, and bids the weary come:

C           Am      Em      G     Dm                   C     F       G      C
With Him I found a home, a rest divine, And since then I am His, and He is mine.

C           F       G                   C    C          F      G                C
The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best;

C           Am         Em        G        Dm   Dm           C               F       E
He for my Friend, I’m rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed:

C           Am       Em      G    Dm                  C     F         G      C
Changes may come, I take, or I resign, Content, while I am His, while He is mine.

C            F           G                C    C           F        G                C
Whate’er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious sun that wanes not nor declines,

C           Am         Em      G        Dm   Dm          C          F              E
Above the clouds and storms He walks serene, And on His people’s inward darkness shines:

C          Am      Em        G    Dm                C        F        G      C
All may depart, I fret not, nor repine, While I my Savior’s am, while He is mine.

C             F     G                  C     C           F        G              C
While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore;

C           Am      Em      G       Dm   Dm         C           F           E
But when I meet Him in the realms above, I hope to love Him better, praise Him more,

C             Am     Em        G     Dm              C     F       G      C
And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.
