FADE, FADE, EACH EARTHLY JOY
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 bright;
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,
Welcome, my
Savior's breast;
Jesus is mine.
