Yet in the shadow of sin;
How many are coming and going!—
How few there are entering in!

How few there are entering in!
How few there are entering in!
How many are coming and going!—
How few there are entering in!
2 Not far, not far from the Kingdom,
Where voices whisper and wait;
Too timid to enter in boldly,
So linger still outside the gate. [Refrain]
3 Away in the dark and the danger,
Far out in the night and the cold;
There Jesus is waiting to lead you
So tenderly into His fold. [Refrain]
4 Not far, not far from the Kingdom,
‘Tis only a little space;
But oh, you may still be for ever
Shut out from yon heavenly place! [Refrain] Scripture: Mark 12:34 Used With Tune: [Not far, not far from the Kingdom] Text Sources: Words arr.
