Text: | Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy |
Author: | Jane C. Bonar |
Tune: | [Fade, fade, each earthly joy] |
Composer: | Theodore E. Perkins |
1 Fade, fade each earthly joy,
Jesus is mine.
Break ev'ry 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 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.
