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]
