Jesus, My All, to Heaven Is Gone

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.

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.
