Lord, I have start­ed to walk in the light
That shines on my path­way so clear­ly, so bright;
I’ve bade the world and its fol­lies adieu,
And now with my Sav­ior I mean to go through.

Refrain

I’m go­ing through, I’m go­ing through,
I’ll pay the price, what­ev­er others do;
I’ll take the way with the Lord’s des­pis­èd few;
I’m go­ing through, Je­sus, I’m go­ing through.

Many once start­ed to run in this race,
But with our Re­deem­er they could not keep pace;
Others ac­cept­ed be­cause it was new,
But not ve­ry many seem bound to go through.

Refrain

Let me but fol­low my Lord all alone,
And have for my pil­low, like Ja­cob, a stone,
Rather than vain world­ly plea­sures pur­sue,
Than turn from this path­way and fail to go through.

Refrain

Come then, my com­rades, and walk in this way
That leads to the king­dom of un­end­ing day;
Turn from your id­ols and join with the few,
Start in with your Sav­ior, and keep go­ing through.

Refrain
