Not far, not far from the Kingdom, Yet in the shadow of sin ; How many are coming and going !----- How few there are entering in I
How few there are entering in I How few there are entering in ! How many are coming and going!------ How few there are entering in!
2. Not far, not far from the Kingdom, Where voices whisper and wait; Too timid to enter in boldly, So linger still outside the gate.
3. Away in the dark and the danger Far out in the night and the cold ; There Jesus is waiting to lead you So tenderly into His fold.
4. Not far, not far from the Kingdom, 'Tis only a little space; But oh, you may still be for ever Shut out from yon heavenly place !
