Which Road Are You Choosing?

Which road are you choos­ing

young friends?

Which road are you choos­ing to take?

Just stop here and think what de­pends

Upon the de­ci­sion you make;

You know that one lead­eth as­tray

And ends in de­struct­ion at last

And that in the straight

nar­row way

You’re safe when the tri­als are past.

Then why are you doubt­ful

young friends?

Which road of these two should you take?

Oh

think of the life that de­pends

Upon the de­ci­sion you make.

The wit­ness­es ga­ther around

And ear­nest­ly

trem­bling­ly wait

To see who among us have found

The way to the beau­ti­ful gate.

The ev­il ones al­so are here

And point to the way which is broad;

Belovèd

what­e’er may ap­pear

That way leads to death’s dark ab­ode.

Oh

where are you go­ing

young friends?

Which road are you choos­ing to take?

The Sav­ior in mer­cy des­cends;

Choose right­ly for His own dear sake;

’Tis on­ly with Him we can go;

We must cling alone to His hand;

But He will lead past ev­ery foe

Safe

safe to His heav­en­ly land.
