| Added by crosby3145, 13 Feb 2023 Soothing arrangement of Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy, perfect for church special. If you are very familiar with hymns, you might see the name Jane C. Bonar and wonder, "Was she related to Horatius Bonar, by any chance?" The answer is yes! Jane C. Bonar was his wife, a pastor's daughter, who contributed some hymns to a couple collections put out by Horatius. John Julian, in his 1907 Dictionary of Hymnology, writes that "Their use is very limited." Today, this is her only one that is remembered, but it still manages to make it into hymnals with some regularity. A classic, with a pretty tune by Theodore Perkins. Hope you enjoy! 1. Fade, fade, each earthly joy— Jesus is mine; Break, ev’ry 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. | |||
