I am Resolved
Words by Palmer Hartsough
James H. Fillmore, Sr.
1896
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.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free;
(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.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free;
(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.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free;
(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.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free;
(Hasten glad and free)
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
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 heav’nly way.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free;
(Hasten glad and free)
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
