The Narrow Way

William Stevenson • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 7:13

Verse 1

There is a way, a narrow way, For all who heav’n would win; Though strait the gate, yet all who strive Will surely enter in.

Chorus

The narrow way, the narrow way, All others lead astray; We’ll bear the cross, nor count the loss, And walk the narrow way.

Verse 2

There is a gate whose way is broad, And many enter there; It leads from heav’n, it leads from God, To darkness and despair.

Chorus

The narrow way, the narrow way, All others lead astray; We’ll bear the cross, nor count the loss, And walk the narrow way.

Verse 3

Help us, O God, the road to shun Where sinners love to stray; And keep our feet forever sure Within the narrow way.

Chorus

The narrow way, the narrow way, All others lead astray; We’ll bear the cross, nor count the loss, And walk the narrow way.
