LyicsJesus, my all, to heaven is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way, till him I view.
CHORUS
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 am 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 have sought,
And mourn'd because I found it not;
My grief a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin.
The more I strove against its power
I felt its weight and guilt the more,
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
"Come hither, soul, I am the way!"
Lo! Glad I came to thee, blest Lamb,
And made confession of thy name.
Myself alone had I to give,
Nothing but love did I receive.
Now will I tell to sinners round
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold the way to God."
