I Am Resolved
Words by Palmer Hartsough
Music by James H. Gillmore
Galatians 5:1
"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
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 glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, 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 hath the words of life.
Chorus
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
I am resolved to follow the Savior,
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 glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
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 glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
