LyicsJESUS my all to heav'n has gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His path I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way, till him I view.
The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King's highway of holiness--
I'll go, for all his paths are peace.
This is the way I long have sought,
And mourn'd because I found it not;
My grief and burden long had been,
That I had not been sav'd from sin.
The more I strove against its pow'r,
I felt its weight and guilt the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
"Come hither, soul--I am the way."
Then glad I came to him, blest Lamb!
And made confession of his name:
Myself alone had I to give;
Nothing but love did I receive.
Now will I tell to sinners round
What a rich Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say--Behold the way to God.
