My Soul’s Beloved
Who is my soul’s Beloved?
It is the Lord I love
Who gave Himself to save me,
Descended from above.
He left His Father’s throne room
To live upon the earth
A life of normal trouble,
A peasant from His birth.
He left His throne of glory
To suffer, hunger, die,
That He might be forsaken,
In grave clothes He might lie.
He left his place of beauty,
Then brought it down to us –
He rose again! He liveth
Our Lord victorious!
He left His rightful glory
To save me by His grace.
He’s always interceding
For me in that bright place.
And soon I know He’s coming
To catch me up to be
With Him, my soul’s Beloved,
Through all eternity.
