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.
Tempt not my soul away, Jesus is mine,
Here would I ever stay, Jesus is mine,
Perishing things of day.
Born but for one brief day,
Pass from my heart away, Jesus is mine.
Farewell mortality, Jesus is mine,
Welcome eternity, Jesus is mine,
Welcome, Oh, loved and blest,
Welcome sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my saviour's breast,
Jesus is mine.
