Hymns - All the Way - Текст песни

1. Within my heart was fond ambition,
 Vain pride, and hopes of worldly fame;
 But still remained a place so vacant,
 Unfilled by highest earthly aim.
 Then Jesus reached His hand to help me???
 ???Come, seek My love,??? I heard Him say;
 I quickly left the world behind me,
 To follow Jesus all the way.
 2. He led me through the verdant valleys,
 Where flowers bloomed by waters fair;
 The sunbeams glory showered o???er me,
 And fragrant odors filled the air.
 Then through the shadowed vale I followed,
 Where entered not a brilliant ray;
 I felt His touch, though could not see Him,
 Then whispered softly, ???All the way.???
 3. And then the furnace door was opened:
 Within its fiery walls enclosed,
 The Son of God was still beside me,
 Upon His bosom I reposed.
 When in my heart He saw reflected
 His image pure???as bright as day???
 He led me forth with joy abounding;
 Again I whispered, ???All the way.???
 4. I stood all ready for His service,
 With gold refined and dross removed;
 The flames had left my soul uninjured,
 But they my faithfulness had proved.
 In dismal night or brightest noonday,
 If Thou wilt near me ever stay,
 Where???er Thou leadest me, O Savior,
 I???ll meekly follow all the way.
