12800. My Only Comfort

1 My only comfort, only joy,
To know I’m bought with blood divine;
The voice of Jesus sweetly sounds,
"Child, thou art Mine, forever Mine."

Refrain:
I’m not my own, I’m not my own;
For Jesus’ blood hath purchased me;
His life for me, my life for Him,
My only comfort this shall be.

2 Delivered from the fear of death,
Delivered from the grave and hell,
Delivered from the tempter’s power,
I’m Christ’s forever! Sin, farewell. [Refrain]

3 Him whose I am I now shall serve,
And take delight to know His will;
O Master! keep me, and preserve,
That I may all Thy words fulfill. [Refrain]

4 For Thee I’ll live, in Thee I’ll die,
Assured by Thy Spirit divine;
That Thou art nigh, forever nigh,
My only comfort! I am Thine. [Refrain]
