1 Fade, fade each earthly joy;
Jesus is mine,
Break every tender tie;
Jesus is mine.
Dark is the wilderness,
Earth has no restingplace,
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 Saviour's breast:
Jesus is mine.
