Tune: J. A. Wade & J. F. Wade, 1854

Words: John Cennick, 1743

Meter: Long Meter Half (8,8)

Jesus, my all, to heav’n is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon.

Chorus:

Oh, save mighty Lord,
And send converting power down,

The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment.

(Chorus)

The King’s highway of holiness,
I’ll go, for all His paths are peace.
