I Am Resolved (Palmer Hartsough; rev. Beth Weaver)

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.

 

I will come to Him quickly, come to Him glad and free,

Jesus, greatest and highest, I will come to Thee.

 

I am resolved to go to the  Savior,

Leaving my sin and strife;

He is the true one, He is the just one,

He has the words of life.

 

I will come to Him quickly, come to Him glad and free,

Jesus, greatest and highest, I will come to Thee.

 

I am resolved to follow the Savior,

Faithful and true each day;

Heed what He’s saying, obey His calling,

He is the living way.

 

I will come to Him quickly, come to Him glad and free,

Jesus, greatest and highest, I will come to Thee.

 

I am resolved to enter the kingdom,

Leaving the paths of sin;

Friends may reject me, the world

May distract me, still will I enter in.

 

I will come to Him quickly, come to Him glad and free,

Jesus, greatest and highest, I will come to Thee.

 

I am resolved, and who will go with me?

Come, now, without delay.

Taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit,

We’ll walk the heav’nly way.

 

I will come to Him quickly, come to Him glad and free,

Jesus, greatest and highest, I will come to Thee.
