See LYRICS

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.

chorus:
I'm on my journey home to the New Jerusalem,
I'm on my journey home to the New Jerusalem,
So fare ye well, so fare ye well,
So fare ye well, I am going home.

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.

chorus

This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief, a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin.

chorus

Then will I tell to sinners 'round
What a dear Savior I have found;
I'll point to Thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold, the way to God!"

chorus

Lo! glad I come and Thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to Thee, whose I am;
Nothing but sin have I to give,
Nothing but love shall I receive.
