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.
The way the holy prophets went-
The road that leads from banishment-
The Kings highway of holiness,
I'll go, for all his paths are peace.
This is the way I long had sought,
And mourn'd because I found it not;
My grief and 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 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 I did receive.
Now will I tell to sinners round,
What a blest Saviour I have found:
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold the way to God."
