• Lyrics:
  Jesus, my all, to heav'n is gone,
  He whom I fixed 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 King's highway of holiness;
  I'll go, for all his paths are peace.
  
  This is the way I long have sought,
  And mourned 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 Savior say,
  “Come hither, soul, I am the way.”
  
  Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb,
  Shalt take me to thee, as I am;
  Nothing but sin have I to give;
  Nothing but love shall I receive.
  Then will I tell to sinners round,
  What a dear Savior I have found;
  I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
  And say, “Behold the way to God.”
