To Eternal Life. s.M. Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.-MATTHEW vii. 13, 14. 1 2 3 DESTRUCTION's dangerous road While that which leads the soul to God, Believers enter in By Christ the living gate; But they who will not leave their sin, If self must be denied, And sin forsaken quite, They rather choose the way that's wide, 4 Obey the gospel call, And enter while you may; 5 Lord, open sinner's eyes, Their awful state to see: And make them, ere the storm arise, 404.
