Joy to the World ‎#131

131. Duane Street

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.
