FADE, FADE, EACH EARTHLY JOY

Fade, fade, each earthly joy; Jesus is mine!\nBreak every tender tie; Jesus is mine!\nDark is the wilderness,\nEarth has no resting-place,\nJesus alone can bless, Jesus is mine!\n2. Tempt not my soul away; Jesus is mine!\nHere would I ever stay; Jesus is mine!\nPerishing things of clay,\nBorn but for one brief day,\nPass from my heart away! Jesus is mine!\n3. Farewell, ye dreams of night; Jesus is mine!\nLost in this dawning light; Jesus is mine!\nAll that my soul has tried\nLeft but a dismal void,\nJesus has satisfied; Jesus is mine!\n4. Farewell, mortality; Jesus is mine!\nWelcome, eternity; Jesus is mine!\nWelcome, O loved and blest;\nWelcome, sweet scenes of rest;\nWelcome, my Saviour’s breast; Jesus is mine!
