The Celebration Hymnal ‎#566

566. I Am Resolved

1 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
