MY GOAL IS GOD HIMSELF
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!
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 foll'wing hard
Till God hath full
fulfilled my deepest prayer.
3. No matter if the
way be sometimes 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 straight.
4. One thing I
know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I
press towards my Lord;
My God my glory
here, from day to day,
And in the glory
there my Great Reward.
