Baptist Hymnal 2008 ‎#378

378. 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.

Chorus:
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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

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.

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.

[Chorus]
