Verse 1
Fade, fade, each earth­ly joy, Je­sus is mine! (I John 2:15, Phil. 3:7-8)
Break ev­ery ten­der tie, Je­sus is mine!

Earth has no rest­ing place, (Heb. 13:14, Ps. 107:4-5)
Jesus alone can bless, Je­sus is mine!

Tempt not my soul away, Je­sus is mine!
Here would I ev­er stay, Je­sus is mine!

Born but for one brief day, (Job 14:1-2, James 4:14)
Pass from my heart away, Je­sus is mine!

Verse 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; (Ecc. 2:11)
Jesus has sa­tis­fied, Jesus is mine! (Ps. 107:9)

Farewell, mor­tal­ity, Je­sus is mine! (I Cor. 15:53-54, II Cor. 5:4)

Welcome, oh, loved and blest,
Welcome sweet scenes of rest, (Rev. 14:13, Heb. 4:9-10)
Welcome, my Sav­ior’s breast, Je­sus is mine! (John 13:23, John 21:20)
