I am walk­ing in the nar­row way,

start
And God is the foun­tain of light.
On a wo­man’s thirs­ty soul,
start
My soul is doomed with de­mons to dwell—
Cradled in the frag­rant hay,
start
Some day I’ll cross the mys­tic stream,
He has gone to pre­pare me a home on high—
Where comes no suf­fer­ing, pain or woe:
start
I went un­to the Keep­er,
Take Thy wait­ing peo­ple home.
When I come to the end
Came forth a strang­er,
Came forth a strang­er,
start
Eternity! Eter­ni­ty!

long

On the long, long road with Je­sus,
Years have we waited in sin and strife;
That mingled with the saints I’ll be,
I long, I long, I long to be there.
And to eyes that long were sealed
It won’t be ve­ry long till Je­sus shall des­cend;
I’ve wait­ed too long
Stranger bed a babe ne’er found,
Must our plead­ing be vain?
Some day I’ll lay my bur­dens down,
In that beau­ti­ful land,
The sum­mons will come, the sum­mons will come,
Our lone­ly hearts to cheer?
Long ago, long ago,
Wait, from out the grave’s dark bed
The sha­dows will flee away,
My faith­ful Sav­ior,
My faith­ful Sav­ior,
Each broken sigh and fall­ing tear
And yet to thee time hastes away,
