FADE, FADE, EACH EARTHLY JOY - Funeral Hymn

FADE, FADE, EACH EARTHLY JOY

VERSE 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!

VERSE 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! Jesu is mine!

VERSE 3
Farewell, ye dreams of night, Jesus is mine!
Lost in this dawning Light, Jesus is mine!
All that my soul has tried,
Left but a dismal void,
Jesus has satisfied, Jesus is mine!

VERSE 4
Farewell, mortality, Jesus is mine!
Welcome, eternity! Jesus is mine,
Welcome, O loved and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my saviour bless, Jesus is mine!
