 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
