Sinners, Behold that Downward Road

John Dobell (1806) • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 7:13-14

Verse 1

Sinners, behold that downward road Which leads to endless woe; What multitudes of thoughtless souls, The road to ruin go!

Verse 2

But yonder see that narrow way, Which leads to endless bliss; There see a happy, chosen few, Redeemed by sov'reign grace.

Verse 3

They from destruction's city came, To Zion upward tend: The Bible is their precious guide, And God Himself their friend.

Verse 4

Lord, I would now a pilgrim be, Guide Thou my feet aright; I would not for ten thousand worlds Be banished from Thy sight.
