I’m Going Through (EN 2886)

1

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.

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 despised few;

I’m going through, Jesus, I’m going through.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
