I Am Resolved

lyricist: Palmer Hartsough, 1896
Composer: James Fillmore

I am re­solved no lon­ger to lin­ger

Charmed by the world’s de­light

Things that are high­er

things that are nob­ler

These have al­lured my sight.

I will hast­en to Him

hast­en so glad and free;

Jesus

great­est

high­est

I will come to Thee.

I will hast­en

hast­en to Him

hast­en so glad and free;

Jesus

Je­sus

great­est

high­est

I will come to Thee.

I am re­solved to go to the Sav­ior

Leaving my sin and strife;

He is the true One

He is the just One

He hath the words of life.

I am re­solved to fol­low the Sav­ior

Faithful and true each day;

Heed what He say­eth

do what He will­eth

He is the liv­ing way.

I am re­solved to en­ter the king­dom

Leaving the paths of sin;

Friends may op­pose me

foes may be­set me

Still will I en­ter in.

I am re­solved

and who will go with me?

Come

friends

with­out de­lay

Taught by the Bi­ble

led by the Spir­it

We’ll walk the heav’n­ly way.
