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.

This is a song every one has to take in heart so as to value God more than the pleasures of this world.

Truthfully Jesus alone can satisfy, just lost a very dear one. all I could think of is our relationship with Christ. Farewell ye dreams of night; JESUS IS MINE

This song etches more than ever the story of my life after years of bearing the cross after Him who loved me and died for me and now lives evermore. It expresses everything the weather-beaten soul has to say. And when my exit from this world comes, whether caught up alive to meet Jesus in the clouds or whether by deperture from this mortal body I want to leave singing this song. Jesus alone can bless, Jesus has satisfied.
