1 My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
2 So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
3 No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
4 One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
