VERSE 1
My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God:
'Tis His to lead me there, not mine, but His
"At any cost, dear Lord, by any road!"
VERSE 2
So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard,
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.
VERSE 3
No matter if the way be some times dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.
VERSE 4
One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press toward my Lord:
My God, my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my Great Reward.
