The Psalms of David ‎#H7

H7. All Men are not saved

1 Destruction's dangerous road
What multitudes pursue!
While that which leads the soul to God,
Is know or sought by few.

2 Believes enter in
By Christ the living door;
But they who will not leave their sin,
Must perish evermore.

3 If self must be deny'd,
And sin forsaken quite;
They rather choose the way that's wide,
And strive to think it right.

4 Encompass'd by a throng,
On numbers they depend;
They say so many can't be wrong,
And miss a happy end.

5 But numbers are not mark
That men will right be found;
A few were sav'd in Noah's ark
For many millions drown'd.

6 Obey the gospel call
And enter while you may;
The flock of Christ remains still small
And none are safe but they.

7 Lord, open sinners' eyes,
Their awful state to see;
And make them, ere the storm arise,
To thee for safety flee.
