by Sarah Stickney (1799 - 1872), as Mrs. Ellis
Now I am thine, thine only
Language: English
Now I am thine, thine only By hand and heart allied; I never can be lonely While we are side by side In wealth, or want, on sea, or land We'll roam together, hand in hand For I am thine, thine only, Allied by hand and heart Now I am thine, thine only be thou my friend and guide Within thy heart enthrone me Thy love'd, and loving bride The parting hour I know will come O may we meet beyong the tomb! For I am thine, thine only Allied by hand and heart
