Lyics

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 heavenly land.



The fearful soul that tires and faints,

And walks the way of God no more,

Is but esteem'd almost a saint,

And makes his own destruction sure.



Lord, let not my hopes be vain-

Create my heart entirely new;

This hypocrites could ne'er attain;

This false apostates never knew.
