| Text: | Broad is the road that leads to death |
| Author: | Watts |
1 Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.
2 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.
3 The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the way of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.
4 Lord! let not all my hopes be vain;
Create my heart entirely new,--
Which hypocrites could ne'er attain;
Which false apostates never knew.
