  *++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."\\
\\
