Today’s words come from Jane Catherine Bonar, the wife of famous Scottish clergyman and hymn writer Horatius Bonar. Enjoy!

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.

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.

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.

Farewell, mortality; 
Jesus is mine.
Welcome, eternity;
Jesus is mine.
Welcome, O loved and blest, 
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Saviour’s breast;
Jesus is mine.
