Lord, I have started to walk in the light That shines on my pathway so clearly, so bright; I’ve bade the world and its follies adieu, And now with my Savior I mean to go through. Refrain I’m going through, I’m going through, I’ll pay the price, whatever others do; I’ll take the way with the Lord’s despisèd few; I’m going through, Jesus, I’m going through. 2. Many once started to run in this race, But with our Redeemer they could not keep pace; Others accepted because it was new, But not very many seem bound to go through. [Refrain] 3. Let me but follow my Lord all alone, And have for my pillow, like Jacob, a stone, Rather than vain worldly pleasures pursue, Than turn from this pathway and fail to go through. [Refrain] 4. Come then, my comrades, and walk in this way That leads to the kingdom of unending day; Turn from your idols and join with the few, Start in with your Savior, and keep going through.
