I Know He’s Mine

lyricist: Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1900
Composer: Benjamin Butts

There’s One above all earth­ly friends

Whose love all earth­ly love trans­cends;

It is my Lord and Christ di­vine

My Lord

be­cause I know He’s mine.

I know He’s mine

this friend so dear;

He lives with me

He’s ev­er near;

Ten thou­sand charms around Him shine

And best of all

I know He’s mine.

He’s mine be­cause He died for me;

He saved my soul

He set me free;

With joy I wor­ship at His shrine

And cry

Praise God

I know He’s mine.

He’s mine be­cause He’s in my heart

And nev­er

nev­er will we part;

Just as the branch is to the vine

I’m joined to Christ: I know He’s mine.

Some day up­on the streets of gold

Mine eyes His glo­ry shall be­hold;

Then

while His arms around me twine

I’ll cry for joy

I know He’s mine.
