277 ~ Fade, Fade Each Earthly Joy

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 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, Welsome my Saviour's breast, Jesus is mine!
