“My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace, Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God; It’s His to lead me there, not mine, but His— “At any cost, dear Lord, by any road!” 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 the Lord has fulfilled my deepest prayer. No matter if the way is sometimes dark, No matter though the cost is often great, He knows the way for me to reach the mark, The road that leads to Him is sure and straight. One thing is sure, I cannot tell Him no; One thing I do, I press towards my Lord; Giving God my glory here, as I go, Knowing in heaven waits my Great Reward.”
