“Thine-Thine forever” blessed bond

1.

“Thine-Thine forever” blessed bond

That knits us, Lord to Thee

May voice and heart and soul respond

Amen, so let it be

2.

When the world strikes its dulcet harp

And earth our heav’n appears

Be “Thine for ever” clean and sharp

God’s trumpet in our ears

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

4.

When Satan flings his fiery darts

Against our weary shield

May “Thine for ever” in our hearts

Forbids us faint or yield

5.

Thine Lord in cradl, thine in youth

Thine when we reach manhood

Thine when we’re feeble and old age

Tell us we’re going for aye

6.

“Thine, Thine for ever” body, soul

Henceforth devote to Thee

While everlasting ages roll

Amen, so let it be
