Decide for Jesus

Author: Irvin H. Mack Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #67 (1904) First Line: How oft across life's narrow path Refrain First Line: Decide for Jesus, decide for Jesus Lyrics: 1 How oft across life's narrow path As on we tread the way, There comes to us the still, small voice, "Give me your heart today." Chorus: Decide for Jesus, decide for Jesus, No longer make delay, Decide for Jesus, decide for Jesus, Make this decision day. 2 O who will make the stand this day, To take the path of right? His ways are paths of love and peace, The end is joy and light. [Chorus] 3 The pleadings often you have heard, The Saviour call you: "come," Return, tho' far you are astray, Your footsteps turn to "home." [Chorus] 4 The world allures with promise vain, Yet death the end must be, But sweet the life our Saviour gives, It lasts eternally. [Chorus] Tune Title: [How oft across life's narrow path]
