209. I'm Going Through

1 Lord, I have started to walk in the light,
Shining upon me from heaven so bright,
I bade the world and its follies adieu,
I’ve started in, Jesus, and I’m going thro'.

Refrain:
I’m going thro', I’m going thro',
I’ll pay the price whatever others do;
I’ll take the way with the Lord’s despised few,
I’m going thro', Jesus, I’m going thro'.

2 I’d rather walk with Jesus alone,
And have for my pillow like Jacob a stone;
Living each moment with His face in view,
Than turn from my pathway and fail to go thro'. [Refrain]

3 Many there are who start in this race,
But with the light refuse to keep pace;
Others accept it because it is new,
But not very many intend to go thro'. [Refrain]

4 O brother, now will you take up the cross,
Give up the world and count it but loss;
Sell all you have and give to the poor,
Then go thro' with Jesus and those who endure. [Refrain]
