1"Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me."—John 14: 6. There are two ways for trav - el - ers, on - ly two ways: God's hill narrow way of ho - li - ness and re - gard; The oth - er leads
down-ward, the wide way to ruin; Up to the land de - ceived, Where we the sway. That the wide path seems lay of sin - ly and strife. The glo - ry up
2There are not man - y ways to glo - ry, on - ly one: One that seems ra - di - ant with light, One that leads to an e - ter - nal throne; One that brings dark-ness, with un - cer-tain end. Say that path seems win - ning, His foot is rest - ure end; They that are with us, death gains with us.
