There Are Many Paths Through This World Of Sin,
But There’s Only One I Shall Travel In;
‘Tis The Old Cross Road, Or The Way Called “Straight”-
There Is Just One Way To The Pearly Gate.
There Is Just One Way To The Pearly Gate,
To The Crown Of Life And The Friends Who Wait;
‘Tis The Old Cross Road, Or The Way Called “Straight”-
There Is Just One Way To The Pearly Gate.
There Are Some Who Sneer At The Old Cross Road,
At The Pearly Gate And The Soul’s Abode;
Yet I Mind Them Not, But, With Happy Song
And Assurance Sweet, Still I Press Along.
Others Risk Their Souls On Some New-Made Way,
Thinking They Will Come To The Gate Someday;
Oh, May They Find Out, Ere Their Lives Are Done,
That The Old Cross Road Is The Only One.
