292. Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy

1 Fade, fade each earthly joy, Jesus is mine!
Break ev'ry tender tie, Jesus is mine!
Dark is the wilderness,
Earth hath 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 light, Jesus is mine!
All that my soul has tried
left but a dismal void,
Jesus has satisfied, Jesus is mine!

4 Farewell, mortality, Jesus is mine!
Welcome, eternity, Jesus is mine!
Welcome, O loved and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Savior's breast, Jesus is mine!
