HYMN DAY! I love the line “He is the true one…He hath the words of life” in “I Am Resolved” by Palmer Hartsough.
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.
CHORUS
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 Saviour,
Leaving my sin and strife;
He is the true one, He is the just one,
He hath the words of life.
CHORUS
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free,
Jesus greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
3. I am resolved to follow the Saviour,
Faithful and true each day;
Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth,
He is the living way.
CHORUS
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free,
Jesus greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
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.
CHORUS
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free,
Jesus greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
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 heavenly way.
CHORUS
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free,
Jesus greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
