35. There’s a Straight Road to Heaven

1 There’s a straight road to Heaven,
Come and start today,
Lo! the path lies before you,
‘Tis a narrow way,
There’ll be light in the valley,
As you pass along,
For the Lord will be with you,
Praise His name with song!

Refrain:
Come and start today,
Come and start today,
Lo! the path lies before you,
‘Tis a narrow way.

2 There’s a straight road to Heaven,
Do not turn aside,
Let your heart never falter,
In His love abide,
Travel on with rejoicing,
Seek the things before
Crown of joy, palms of vict’ry,
Wait on Eden’s shore. [Refrain]

3 There’s a straight road to Heaven,
Just the good old way,
Leading up to the city,
Of eternal day,
Where the angels are singing,
On that shining shore,
“To the King in His beauty,
Praise forevermore.” [Refrain]
