Christ My Song - 59
Pass away, earthly joy
(Catherine Jane Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Pass away, earthly joy.
1. Pass away, earthly joy,
Jesus is mine!
Break every mortal tie,
Jesus is mine!
Dark is the wilderness;
distant the resting-place;
Jesus alone can bless: –
Jesus is mine! PDF - Midi
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, dreams of the night,
Jesus is mine!
Mine is a 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 ye scenes of rest,
welcome ye mansions blessed,
welcome a Saviour's breast,
Jesus is mine!
Catherine Jane Bonar, in: Horatius Bonar: The Bible Hymn-Book, 1860, hymn 108.
