LyicsBroad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shews a narrow path,
With here and there a traveller.
"Deny thyself and take the cross,"
Is the Redeemer's great command;
All nature you must count but loss
If ye would gain the heav'nly land,
The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the ways of God no more,
Is but esteem'd 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 base deceives never knew.
