THY FAVOR IS LIFE.

By Mrs. Horatio Bonar

AIR—"Heaven is my home."

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 the 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.

[Mrs. Horatio Bonar, Scotland.
