Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Timeless Truths #268 Meter: 10.10.10.10 with refrain First Line: There are many paths through this world of sin Refrain First Line: There is just one way to the pearly gate Lyrics: 1 There are many paths through this world of sin,
But there’s only one I shall travel in;
’Tis the old Cross Road, or the way called “Straight”—
There is just one way to the pearly gate.
Refrain:
There is just one way to the pearly gate,
To the crown of life and the friends who wait;
’Tis the old Cross Road, or the way called “Straight”—
There is just one way to the pearly gate.
2 There are some who sneer at the old Cross Road,
At the pearly gate and the soul’s abode;
Yet I mind them not, but, with happy song
And assurance sweet, still I press along. [Refrain]
3 Others risk their souls on some new-made way,
Thinking they will come to the gate some day;
Oh, may they find out, ere their lives are done,
That the old Cross Road is the only one. Scripture: John 14:6 Tune Title: [There are many paths through this world of sin]
