This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

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.

 
 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.

 
 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 Savior's breast;

Jesus is mine.
