The Silver Chime ‎#56

56. The Little Pilgrims

1 The way to heaven is narrow,
And its blessed entrance strait;
But how safe the little pilgrims
Who get within the gate!

2 The sunbeams of the morning
Make the narrow path so fair;
And these early little pilgrims
Find dewy blessings there.

3 They pass o’er rugged mountains,
But they climb them with a song;
For these early little pilgrims
Have sandals new and strong.

4 They do not greatly tremble
When the shadows night foretell;
For these early little pilgrims
Have tried the path so well.

5 They know it leads to heaven,
With its bright and open gates,
Where for happy little pilgrims
A Saviour’s welcome waits.
