1. Jesus, my all, to heav'n is gone,
   He whom I fix my hopes upon;
   His track I see, and I'll pursue
   The narrow way, till him I view.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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."

5. 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.

6. 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."

Refrain:

   I'm on my journey home,
   To the new Jerusalem,
   So fare you well,
   I am going home.
