Author: Jane C. Bonar, 1821-1884 Appears in 567 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Fade, fade, each earthly joy; Jesus is mine. Break every tender tie; Jesus is mine.

Perishing things of clay, Born 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 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 loved and blest, Welcome, sweet scenes of rest, Welcome, my Saviour’s breast; Jesus is mine. Used With Tune: LUNDIE
