All along, your aid af­ford,
Hasten to the strait gate,
Which did in Adam fail,

Be watch­ful, be pray­er­ful;

To man­sions fair, at home.

None can knock un­heed­ed,
Should strive and should prevail.
He would like to have us do.
Should strive and should pre­vail.
Their foes so ma­ny, they so few,
Let Thy Word rich­ly in us dwell,
And Je­sus will aid you
The mo­ment after death;
Employs the tal­ents he re­ceives
Still lurks and lies in wait
Find ov­er­throw com­plete.
Yet ev­er comes with ten­der care
The ten­der grass and the rip­en­ing ear,
