Sheet music

  1. 1Fade, 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!
  2. 2Tempt 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. 3Farewell, ye dreams of night,Jesus is mine!Lost in this dawning light,Jesus is mine!All that my soul has triedLeft but a dismal void,Jesus has satisfied,Jesus is mine!
  4. 4Farewell, 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!
