Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.1045
First Line: Fade, fade, each earthly joy; Jesus is mine,
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, bora 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's breast; Jesus is mine !
