Christ the Way. John 14. 6; Isa. 35. 8
1
Jesus, 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.
2
[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.]
3
This is the way I long have sought,
 
And mourned because I found it not;
 
My grief, my burden long has been,
 
Because I could not cease from sin.
4
The more I strove against its power,
 
I sinned and stumbled but the more;
 
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
 
“Come hither, soul, I AM THE WAY.”
5
Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb,
 
Shalt take me to thee as I am;
 
Nothing but sin I thee can give;
 
Nothing but love shall I receive.
6
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.”
