Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Farewell, ye dreams of night: Jesus is mine;

Lost in this His dawning bright: Jesus is mine.

All that my soul has tried, Left but a dismal void;

Jesus has satisfied: Jesus is mine.

Verse 4

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.
