Jesus is Mine.

By permission.

S:

T. E. Perkins.

1. Fade, fade each earthly joy, Jesus is mine! Break ev'ry tender tie, D. S. Je-sus a-lone can bless,

Fine.

D. S.

Jesus is mine! Dark is the wilderness, Earth has no resting place, 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 light

Jesus is mine!

102.

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, Oloved and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Savior's breast,
Jesus is mine!

Cross and Crown. C. M.

free?

No; there's a cross for every one,

2 How happy are the saints above Who once went sorrowing here; But now they taste unmingled love, And joy without a tear.

8 The consecrated cross I'll bear Till death shall set me free,

And there's a cross for

me.

And then go home my crown to wear, For there's a crown for me.

4 O precious cross! O glorious crown! O resurrection day!

Ye angels, from the stars come down, And bear my soul away.

1. Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive; Let a re- penting rebel live.

Are not thy mer-cies large and free? May not a sin-ner trust in thee?

par'd his people's rest. I would gain the realms of brightness, Where they dwell forevermore, on the other shore.

CHORUS.-Let me go,'tis Jesus calls me, Let me gain the realms of soul to be away.

2 Let me go where none are weary,
Where is raised no wail of woe,
Let me go and bathe my spirit
In the raptures angels know,
Let me go, for bliss eternal

Lures my soul away, away,
And the victor's song triumphant.
Thrills my heart, I cannot stay.
3 Let me go, why should I tarry?

What has earth to bind me here?
What, but cares and toils and sorrows?
What, but death and pain and fear?
Let me go, for hopes most cherish'd

Blasted round me often lie,
O! I've gathered brightest flowers
But to see them fade and die.

4 Let me go where tears and sighing
Are forever more unknown,
Where the joyous songs of glory
Call me to a happier home.
Let me go-I'd cease this dying,
I would gain life's fairer plains,
Let me join the myriad harpers,

Let me chant their rapturous strains.
5 Let me go, O speed my journey,
Saints and seraphs lure away,
O! I almost feel the raptures

That belong to endless day.
Oft methinks I hear the singing

That is only heard above,
Let me go, O! speed my going,
Let me go where all is love.

[Hymn No. 104 continued.]

2 My crimes are great, but don't surpass | Lord, should thy judgments grow severe,
The power and glory of thy grace;
Great God, thy nature hath no bound,
So let thy pard'ning love be found.
3 O wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offences pain my eyes.
4 My lips with shame my sins confess,
Against thy law, against thy grace;

I am condemn'd, but thou art clear.
5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,
I must pronounce thee just in death;
And if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.

an - ger up.

}

For soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home.

2 Will it relieve their horrors there,
To recollect their stations here?
How much they heard, how much they know,
How long among the wheat they grew?
3 Oh, this will aggravate their case!
They perished under means of grace:
To them the word of life and faith
Became an instrument of death.
4 We seem alike when thus we meet-7 Most awful thought! and is it so?
Strangers might think we all were wheat; Must all mankind the harvest know?
But to the Lord's all-searching eyes Is every man a wheat or tare?
Each heart appears without disguise. Me for that harvest, Lord, prepare!

15 The tares are spared for various ends:
Some for the sake of praying friends;
Others the Lord, against their will,
Employs his counsels to fulfil.
6 But tho' they grow so tall and strong,
His plan will not require them long
In harvest, when he saves his own,
The tares shall into hell be thrown.

Nor happiness afford;

Far from my heart be joys like these,

The stars are all concealed,

|So earthly pleasures fade away
When Jesus is revealed.

I bid them all depart;.

Have fixed my roving heart.
