Lord, Thou art mine, and I am Thine,
If mine I am; and Thine much more
Than I or ought or can be mine.
Yet to be Thine doth me restore,
So that again I now am mine,
And with advantage mine the more,
Since this being mine brings with it Thine,
And Thou with me dost Thee restore:
If I without Thee would be mine,
I neither should be mine nor Thine.
Lord, I am Thine, and Thou art mine;
So mine Thou art, that something more
I may presume Thee mine then Thine,
For Thou didst suffer to restore
Not Thee, but me, and to be mine:
And with advantage mine the more,
Since Thou in death wast none of Thine,
Yet then as mine didst me restore:
O, be mine still; still make me Thine
Or rather make no Thine and mine.

Kim, is this a pantimime of thine and mine or are you projecting the Thine from thine to mine. I say back at yah of the Thine from mine to thine.
I really liked this hymn and therefore it isn’t a landmine for my soul.
Kim, way to mine the soul with these deep thoughts.
but this mining of the soul is toward mine from thine which ultimately comes from Thine by way of Thine.
