Surely if there be a happy verse in the Bible, it is this—‘My Beloved is mine, and I am his.’ So peaceful, so full of assurance, so overrunning with happiness and contentment is it, that it might well have been written by the same hand which penned the twenty-third Psalm. The verse savors of him who, an hour before he went to Gethsemane, said, ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.’ Let us ring the silver bell again, for its notes are exquisitely sweet: ‘My Beloved is mine, and I am his.’
