Fade, fade each earthly joy

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.

one of my favorite songs that is so inspiring to me. I feel drawn to my Saviour when I sing this song; as I remember that this earth and all its fake glories are passing away but Jesus will remain with me- Indeed He is mine:

I always feel highly uplift whenever I am singing this hymn, I pray that God Almighty may help me sing it with the Angels in heaven when this earthly journey comes to an end. Thanks 🙏 Maranatha 🙏

This song just reminded me that a man's life consistent not in the abundance of earthly possession, that we have no continuing city here. It's a song to be sang every time your mind begins to wonder from the Saviour Jesus Christ. O LORD, help your children!

This is one of many Inspirational songs brought or taught by the American Missionaries to Africa. This song is emotional, I love it and I sing it almost everyday; it is so significant.

Thank you for reminding us about our Savior Jesus Christ.

Now when life feels uncertain and it feels like everyone is against me, this song gives a courage that there is a better land and earth is not my final destination. Jesus is mine
