Mrs. Catherine J. Bonar

1821 - 1884 Person Name: Jane Catherine Bonar Author of "Jesus Is Mine" in Hymn and Tune Book of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (Round Note Ed.) Bonar, Jane Catharine, née Lundie, daughter of the Rev. Robert Lundie, some time minister of the parish of Kelso, born at Kelso Manse, December, 1821, married, in 1843, to Dr. H. Bonar, and died in Edinburgh, Dec. 3, 1884. Her hymns appeared in Dr. Bonar's Songs for the Wilderness, 1843-4, and his Bible Hymn Book, 1845. Their use is very limited. Mrs. Bonar is chiefly known through her hymn:— Pass away, earthly joy. Jesus, all in all, which appeared in the Songs for the Wilderness, 2nd Series, 1844, and again in the Bible Hymn Book, 1845, No. 108, in 4 stanzas of 8 lines, including the refrain, "Jesus is mine!" The original text is given in Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymn Book. 1372, No. 661. Sometimes this is altered to "Fade, fade, each earthly joy," as in the American Songs for the Sanctuary, 1865, No. 114, and others. The last stanza of this hymn is also st. iv. of the cento, "Now I have found a friend," &c. (q. v.) -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
