Millennial Harp 36
The Promise
11. Jesus my all to heaven is gone, Jesus says he
He whom I fix my hopes upon; will be with us to the end, For he has been with us, and he
still is with us, And he's promis'd to be with us to the end.
22. His track I see and I'll pursue, Jesus, &c.
The narrow way till him I view. Jesus, &c.
33. The way the holy prophets went, Jesus, &c.
The road that leads to banishment. Jesus, &c.
44. The king's highway of holiness, Jesus, &c.
I'll go, for all his paths are peace. Jesus, &c.
55. This is the way I long have sought, Jesus, &c.
And mourned because I found it not. Jesus &c.
66. My grief a burden long has been, Jesus, &c.
Because I was not saved from sin. Jesus, &c.
77. The more I strove against its power, Jesus, &c.
I felt its weight and guilt the more. Jesus, &c.
88. Till late I heard my Savior say, Jesus, &c.
'Come hither soul, I am the way.' Jesus, &c.
99. Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb, Jesus, &c.
Shall take me to thee, whose I am. Jesus, &c.
1010. Nothing but sin have I to give, Jesus, &c.
Nothing but love shall I receive. Jesus, &c.
1111. Then will I tell to sinners round, Jesus, &c.
What a dear Savior I have found. Jesus, &c.
1212. I'll point to thy redeeming blood, Jesus, &c.
And say, 'Behold the way of God.' Jesus, &c.
