Joyful Songs ‎#6

6. Jesus Is Mine

1 Fade, fade, each earthly joy;
Jesus is mine!
Break ev'ry tender tie;
Jesus is mine!
Jesus alone can bless,
Dark is the wilderness,
Earth has no resting place,
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 hearts 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 Lord and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome my Savior's breast,
Jesus is mine.
