Author: Henrietta E. Blair Hymnal: Melodious Sonnets #41 (1885) First Line: At the gate that leads to glory, from the rugged path of sin Refrain First Line: Strait is the gate and narrow is the way Lyrics: 1 At the gate that leads to glory, from the rugged path of sin, Where the joys that fill the soul are ever new, O ye weary, heavy-laden, will you strive to enter in, While the Saviour now is waiting there for you? Refrain: Strait is the gate and narrow is the way That leadeth unto life above; Strive to enter in, oh, strive to enter in! Come to a Saviour’s love. 2 At the gate that leads to glory there’s a light that shineth still, ‘Tis the pure and holy light of promise true; Hear the blessed invitation to the whosoever will, From the Saviour who is waiting now for you. [Refrain] 3 At the gate that leads to glory you will never knock in vain, There is room for ev’ry one, and welcome, too; Only give your heart to Jesus, life eternal you will gain: He is calling, he is waiting now for you. [Refrain] 4 From the gate that leads to glory, oh, how many go astray! We are told that they that find it are but few; Then believe the words of Jesus, enter quickly while you may: He is waiting now with open arms for you.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[At the gate that leads to glory, from the rugged path of sin]" in Melodious Sonnets William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
