Author: Mrs. Catherine J. Bonar Hymnal: Christ in Song #306 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Fade, fade each earthly joy Lyrics: 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 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 lov'd and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome my Saviour's breast,
Jesus is mine! Topics: Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious Languages: English Tune Title: [Fade, fade each earthly joy]
