The Little Pilgrims
Hymnal: The Silver Chime #56 (1862) First Line: The way to heaven is narrow Lyrics: 1 The way to heaven is narrow,
And its blessed entrance strait;
But how safe the little pilgrims
Who get within the gate!
2 The sunbeams of the morning
Make the narrow path so fair;
And these early little pilgrims
Find dewy blessings there.
3 They pass o’er rugged mountains,
But they climb them with a song;
For these early little pilgrims
Have sandals new and strong.
4 They do not greatly tremble
When the shadows night foretell;
For these early little pilgrims
Have tried the path so well.
5 They know it leads to heaven,
With its bright and open gates,
Where for happy little pilgrims
A Saviour’s welcome waits.

Composer of "[The way to Heaven is narrow]" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
