Fade, fade each earthly joy

NT531
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.
22

This is called for sober reflection, we are just clay once the breath is taking no remedy again. But those that believe in Christ Jesus will meet again during the day of reckoning.

This hymn makes me sober and thoughtful about my walk with Jesus. Let each earthly joy fade away so that Jesus could be mine and mine alone.

This hymn is my SOUL music. It was singing in my heart ever before l was old enough to really sing it. Hmmm. More like a mystery to me.

Psalm 23 is a verse we all know.

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not be found roaming about.

What does He do? He leads us besides still waters, besides green pastures.

The experience of a Christian who is daily following Jesus Christ into green pastures, that is a test of of heaven.

When people are comfortable and having their hope in the world here, is a sign that they are no following the shepherd to green pastures. They are not drinking still waters which is a fortress of eternity.

If you are not following Christ I plead you to begin now to cry and say Lord even so, come Lord Jesus. Lead me into green pastures and still waters.
