HYMN Lyrics Text: 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

Welcome, my saviour blest.

Jesus is mine.
