135. Jesus Is Mine

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!

Refrain:
Jesus is mine!
All else I leave to follow Jesus;
Jesus is mine;
And I have naught beside, but Jesus;
His love can never fail,
When doubts and fears assail,
Thro’ Him I shall prevail;
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! [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]
