- 1I 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.I will hasten to Him,(I will hasten, hasten to Him,)Hasten so glad and free,(Hasten glad and free,)Jesus, greatest, highest,(Jesus, Jesus,)I will come to Thee.
- 2I 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.I will hasten to Him,(I will hasten, hasten to Him,)Hasten so glad and free,(Hasten glad and free,)Jesus, greatest, highest,(Jesus, Jesus,)I will come to Thee.
- 3I am resolved to follow the Savior,Faithful and true each day,Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth,He is the living Way.I will hasten to Him,(I will hasten, hasten to Him,)Hasten so glad and free,(Hasten glad and free,)Jesus, greatest, highest,(Jesus, Jesus,)I will come to Thee.
- 4I am resolved to enter the kingdom,Leaving the paths of sin;Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me,Still will I enter in.I will hasten to Him,(I will hasten, hasten to Him,)Hasten so glad and free,(Hasten glad and free,)Jesus, greatest, highest,(Jesus, Jesus,)I will come to Thee.
- 5I 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.I will hasten to Him,(I will hasten, hasten to Him,)Hasten so glad and free,(Hasten glad and free,)Jesus, greatest, highest,(Jesus, Jesus,)I will come to Thee.
