I have de­cid­ed to fol­low Je­sus,
His word, and His will, and His way.
For just be­yond the sight,
Lord Je­sus, look on me,
The child­ren are com­ing to Je­sus,
While last­eth time’s brief day;
At the noon­tide hour be His;
But from afar, a splen­did star
Sow thy seed at morn­ing light;
Over there where God’s thoughts
Save from spoil Thy ho­ly place.
With Thy teach­ing now pro­vide us,
Great is Thy faith­ful­ness, O God my Fa­ther;
In ex­ult­ant songs to tell
In a world of sin;
start
There the sons of dark­ness lie;
That shines on my path from ab­ove;
In Thy house shall be Thy guest?
To cleanse the heart and ban­ish sin away.

turn­ing

The world be­hind me, the cross be­fore me,
Are turn­ing, are turn­ing;
Waits thy heart’s de­light.
My soul with ago­ny
They’re seek­ing the man­sions of glo­ry,
No lin­ger­ing by the way.
And in­her­it end­less bliss.
The live­long night saw pure and bright,
Labor on with all thy might;
Over there dark­ened hearts
Humbly at Thy feet we bend,
We Thy mes­sage may be learn­ing.
Thou chang­est not, Thy com­pas­sions, they fail not;
T’ward the ci­ty where they dwell.
Strive to en­ter in;
Hark, how they rust­le and fall to the ground.
There the worm shall nev­er die:
The light of God’s won­der­ful love.
In Thy ho­ly hill shall rest?
Today as in the ag­es lost to sight;
