Highways to Zion

We have not one regret for taking this way

Not a single regret

journeying this day;

Rough and winding terrain

rocks and thorns can’t dissuade

Narrow gate

narrow way

the cross’s wounds pervade.

Without any regret

our all we consecrate;

Never any regret

our first love we waste.

Though constricted the gate

on this way

Lord

You lead;

Rough and narrow the way

companions compass me.

Lord

once more I’d give myself unto Thee;

Be the grace and willingness in me

Shine forth light and reality

And on Zion’s highways lead me.

Still upright now we stand

no scent of smoke have we;

Resolutely we stand

face set steadfastly.

Giving up all the world

run to joy set before

Each step fills us with hope and glory more and more.

We stand boldly today

with pure heart testify

We stand boldly today

spirits are upright:

I love Him

no regret: His life for me He gave;

Faith grows more steadfast yet:

He’s ne’er my trust betrayed.

Lord

once more I’d give myself unto Thee;

Be the grace and willingness in me

Shine forth light and reality

And on Zion’s highways lead me.
