Marysville 163b

Tune: Ananias Davisson, 1821; Arranged by Karen Willard, 2000
Lyrics: John Cennick, 1743
Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)
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;

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

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!"
