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.
