lyrics

Broad is the road that leads to death And thousands walk together there
But wisdom shows a narrow path With here and there a traveller.
'Deny thyself and take thy cross' Is the redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross If she would gain this heav'nly land.

The fearful soul that tires and faints And walks the ways of God no more
Is but esteemed almost a saint And makes his own destruction sure.
Lord let not all my hopes be vain, Create my heart entirely new,
Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew.

Why should we start and fear to die? What tim'rous worms we mortals are!
Death is the gate to endless joy And yet we dread to enter there.
O if my lord would come and meet, My soul would stretch her wings in haste
Fly fearless through death's iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she passed.

Isaac Watts
