Author: Jane Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12337 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a path that leads to God
All others go astray;
Though narrow, pleasant is the road,
And Christians love the way.
2 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.
3 How shall an infant pilgrim dare
This dangerous path to tread?
Do I not need a shepherd’s care
To be securely led?
4 While the broad road, where thousands go,
Lies near and opens fair;
And many turn aside, I know,
To walk with sinners there.
5 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.
6 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."
7 Thus I may safely venture through
Beneath my shepherd’s care;
And keep the gate of Heaven in view,
Till I shall enter there. Languages: English Tune Title: DALEHURST
