Why do you linger, why do you stay, In the broad road, that most dangerous way----- While right before you, narrow and strait, Is the bright pathway to heaven's pearly gate ?
Narrow and strait, . . narrow and strait . . Is the bright pathway to heaven's pearly gate.
2. Do you find pleasures lasting and pure In the gay scenes that the thoughtless allure----- While your Redeemer, with love so great, Points to the way that is narrow and strait ?
3. Come, then, beloved, no longer stay ; Leave the broad highway, oh, leave it to-day ! Make your decision-------oh, do not wait ! Take thou the pathway so narrow and strait !
