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!

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!

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!

Farewell, mor­ta­li­ty, Je­sus is mine!
Welcome, eter­ni­ty, Je­sus is mine!
Welcome, oh, loved and blest,
Welcome sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Sav­ior’s breast, Je­sus is mine!
