Hymn 77

I am resolved no longer to linger

Palmer Hartsough

Verse 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.

Verse 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 has the words of life.

Chorus

I will hasten to Him, Hasten so glad and free;

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
