Representative Text

1 When you start for the land of eternal day,
Keep in the middle of the road;
No matter what you meet, never turn from the way,
Keep in the middle of the road.

Refrain:
Keep in the middle of the road,
Keep in the middle of the road;
There are dangers all around,
Then let us all be found
Keeping in the middle of the road.

2 When the clouds hanging low do the soul appall,
Keep in the middle of the road;
If you trust God and obey you shall ne'er faint nor fall,
Keep in the middle of the road. [Refrain]

3 If your friends should forsake, others fall by your side,
Keep in the middle of the road;
Be ever brave and true, and whatever betide,
Keep in the middle of the road. [Refrain]

4 Tho' the path may be narrow, it leads to the prize,
Keep in the middle of the road;
Be faithful, there's a crown and a home in the skies,
Keep in the middle of the road. [Refrain]

5 There is one way alone to the mansions of light,
Keep in the middle of the road;
Should you stray, you will be lost in the regions of night,
Keep in the middle of the road. [Refrain]
