I have given up all
to my Savior so dear,
And His praises I ever will sing;
And though all of this world
should forsake me while here,
To my Savior I ever will cling.
He leads me each day
in the heavenly way,
So onward and upward I’ll climb;
In the straight, narrow way,
I’m determined to stay,
Till I leave this old dark world behind.
I’ve received such great light,
and its beams are so bright,
That the past of my life’s way
seems dim;
I will walk in this light
by day and by night,
Still closer I’ll cling unto Him.
He leads me each day
in the heavenly way,
So onward and upward I’ll climb;
In the straight, narrow way,
I’m determined to stay,
Till I leave this old dark world behind.
Some think I’ve done wrong
by leaving the throng,
Who abide in sectarian strife;
But I’ve only come back
where God’s people belong,
From Babel I fled for my life.
He leads me each day
in the heavenly way,
So onward and upward I’ll climb;
In the straight, narrow way,
I’m determined to stay,
Till I leave this old dark world behind.
I have a good home
in the fold of my Lord,
Where His sanctified children
all dwell;
I am glad that I heard
the truth from His word,
And now with my soul all is well.
He leads me each day
in the heavenly way,
So onward and upward I’ll climb;
In the straight, narrow way,
I’m determined to stay,
Till I leave this old dark world behind.
Someday when my life
and its labors are o’er,
And my sheaves at His feet I lay down,
I will meet all the saints
on that beautiful shore,
And receive a bright, glittering crown.
He leads me each day
in the heavenly way,
So onward and upward I’ll climb;
In the straight, narrow way,
I’m determined to stay,
Till I leave this old dark world behind.
