Lyrics

Verse 1
I am re­solved no lon­ger to lin­ger,
Charmed by the world’s de­light, (I John 2:15-17)
Things that are high­er, things that are nob­ler, (Col. 3:1-2, Phil. 4:8)
These have al­lured my sight.

Chorus
I will hast­en to Him, hast­en so glad and free;
Jesus, great­est, high­est, I will come to Thee. (Matt. 11:28)
I will hast­en, hast­en to Him, hast­en so glad and free;
Jesus, Je­sus, great­est, high­est, I will come to Thee.

Verse 2
I am re­solved to go to the Sav­ior,
Leaving my sin and strife;
He is the true One, He is the just One, (John 14:6, Acts 3:14, Acts 7:52, Acts 22:14)
He hath the words of life. (John 6:68)

Verse 3
I am re­solved to fol­low the Sav­ior, (John 10:27)
Faithful and true each day;
Heed what He say­eth, do what He will­eth, (James 1:22)
He is the liv­ing way. (Heb. 10:20, John 14:6)

Verse 4
I am re­solved to en­ter the king­dom
Leaving the paths of sin; (Ps. 1:1)
Friends may op­pose me, foes may be­set me,
Still will I en­ter in. (Acts 14:22)

Verse 5
I am re­solved, and who will go with me?
Come, friends, with­out de­lay,
Taught by the Bi­ble, led by the Spir­it, (II Tim. 3:16, Rom. 8:14)
We’ll walk the heav’n­ly way.
