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.
Refrain: 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.
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.
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.
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.
