SS&S Hymn #900: Jesus my all, to heaven

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

Jesus, my All, to heaven is gone,
He whom I fixed 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 and burden long have been,
Because I could not cease from sin.

The more I strove against its power,
I sinned and stumbled but the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour 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.

Now 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."
