Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

373 (C.M.) Benjamin Beddome

If God is mine, then present things,

And things to come are mine;

Yea, Christ, His Word, and Spirit too,

And glory all divine.

If he is mine, then from His love

He ev'ry trouble sends;

All things are working for my good,

And bliss His rod attends.

If He is mine, I need not fear

The rage of earth and hell;

He will support my trembling hope,

Their utmost force repel.

If He is mine, let friends forsake,

Let wealth and honor flee —

Sure He who giveth me Himself,

Is more than wealth to me.

If he is mine, I'll boldly pass

Through death's tremendous vale;

He is a solid comfort when

All other comforts fail.

O, tell me, Lord! that Thou art mine;

What can I wish beside?

My soul would at the fountain live,

When all the streams are dried.
