LyicsJesus, my all, to heaven has gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His path I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way, till him I view.
I'm on my journey home
To the New Jerusalem;
I'm on my journey home
To the New Jerusalem;
So fare you well, so fare you well,
So fare you well, I'm going home.
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 had sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief a burden long had been,
That I had not been saved from sin.
The more I strove against its power,
I felt its weight and guilt the more;
Till late I hear my Savior say,
"Come hither, soul, I am the way."
