The Way to Canaan. 1 JESUS, my all, to heav'n is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment; The King's highway of holiness, I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourn'd because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, A Because I could not cease from sin. 4 The more I strove against its pow'r, I sinn'd and stumbled but the more; Till late I heard my Saviour say, f "Coine hither, soul, I am the Way." 5 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am: Nothing but sin I thee can give, 6 Then will I tell to sinners round What a dear Saviour I have found ;..
