Hymn/Song Information

Why do you linger why do you stay




Why do you linger,
why do you stay,
In the broad road,
that most dangerous way—
While right before you,
narrow and strait,
Is the bright pathway
to heaven’s pearly gate?

Narrow and strait,
Narrow and strait
Is the bright pathway
to heaven’s pearly gate.



Do you find pleasures
lasting and pure
In the gay scenes
that the thoughtless allure—
While your Redeemer,
with love so great,
Points to the way
that is narrow and strait?

Narrow and strait,
Narrow and strait
Is the bright pathway
to heaven’s pearly gate.



Come, then, beloved,
no longer stay;
Leave the broad highway,
oh, leave it today!
Make your decision,
oh, do not wait;
Take thou the pathway
so narrow and strait!

Narrow and strait,
Narrow and strait
Is the bright pathway
to heaven’s pearly gate.
