Text: | Way to Canaan |
1 Jesus, my all, to heav'n is gone,
He whom I fix'd 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 mourn'd 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 sinn'd and stumbled but the more,
Till late 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, whose I am;
Nothing but sin I thee can give,
Nothing but love would 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."
