Jesus is Mine

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.

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.

~Jane C. Bonar

I wanted to post tonight, but time has run out. I must needs go to bed. These words of Jane, wife of Horatius, will need to suffice. Suffice? These words far exceed anything that I could possibly have said. That they will be the expression of my heart!
