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.Refrain: I will hasten to Him, Hasten so glad and free; Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee.2. 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.3. 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.4. 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.5. 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.
