Lyics

JESUS, my all, to heav'n is gone--

He whom I fix my hopes upon;

His track I see, and I'll pursue

The narrow way till Him I view.



This is the way I long have sought,

And mourn'd because I found it not;

Till late I heard my Saviour say,

"Come hither, soul! I am the Way."



Lo! glad I come, and Thou, blest Lamb,

Shalt take me to Thee as I am;

My sinful self to Thee I give--

Nothing but love shall I receive.



Then 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!"
