Author: Jane C. Bonar Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #563 (1999) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Lyrics: 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 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.
AMEN. Topics: Eternal Life Languages: English Tune Title: LUNDIE
