Fade, fade, each earthly joy
1
Fade, fade, each earthly joy;Jesus is mine;Break, every tender tie;Jesus is mine.Dark is the wilderness;Earth has no resting-place;Jesus alone can bless;Jesus is mine.
2
Tempt not my soul away;Jesus is mine;Here would I ever stay;Jesus is mine.Perishing things of clay,Born but for one brief day,Pass from my heart away;Jesus is mine.
3
Farewell, ye dreams of night;Jesus is mine;Lost in this dawning bright,Jesus is mine.All that my soul has triedLeft but a dismal void;Jesus has satisfied;Jesus is mine.
4
Farewell, mortality;Jesus is mine;Hail! immortality;Jesus is mine.Welcome, O loved and blest!Welcome, sweet scenes of rest;Welcome, my Saviour's breast;Jesus is mine!
