“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14)

Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows a narrower path,
With here and there a traveler.

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.

Isaac Watts
1674–1748
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Lead me safely on by the narrow way,
From the shores of time to the realms of day;
By the cross of Christ may I ever stand,
As I journey on to the better land. 

Lead me on, lead me on,
By the straight and narrow way,
Lead me on, lead me on,
To the realms of endless day.


With a shepherd’s care thro’ the night and day,
Keep me close to Thee lest I go astray;
Lead me safely on by Thy tender love,
Thro’ this world of sin to my home above. 

Thro’ the storms of life, ’mid the ocean’s foam,
Lead me safely on to my heav’nly home;
At the fount of life on the other shore,
Let me freely drink till I thirst no more.

J. H. Leslie, 1878

There is a path that leads to God
All others go astray;
Though narrow, pleasant is the road,
And Christians love the way.

It leads us through this world of sin,
And dangers must be passed;
But those who boldly walk therein
Will come to Heaven at last.

How shall an infant pilgrim dare
This dangerous path to tread?
Do I not need a shepherd’s care
To be securely led?

While the broad road, where thousands go,
Lies near and opens fair;
And many turn aside, I know,
To walk with sinners there.

Be Thou, O Lord, my guard, my guide,
Nor let me from Thee stray;
Uphold my footsteps, lest I slide
Or wander from Thy way.

Then I may go without alarm
And trust His Word of old
The lambs, He’ll gather with His arm,
And lead them to the fold.

Thus I may safely venture through
Beneath my shepherd’s care;
And keep the gate of Heaven in view,
Till I shall enter there.

 Jane Taylor
1783–1824
