Though strait be the way

Hymnal: The Baptist Hymn Book #759 (1859)

"Hitherto hath the Lord helped us"

Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #778 (1844) First Line: Though strait be the way, with dangers beset Lyrics: 1 Though strait be the way, with dangers beset, And we on the way are no farther yet, Our good Guide and Saviour has helped us thus far; And ’tis by his favour we are what we are. 2 [A favour so great we highly should prize; Not murmur, nor fret, nor small things despise. But what call we small things – sin’s whole cancelled sum? ’Tis greater than all things, except those to come.] 3 My brethren, reflect on what we have been, How God had respect to us under sin; When lower and lower we every day fell, He stretched forth his power, and snatched us from hell. 4 Then let us rejoice, and cheerfully sing, With heart and with voice, to Jesus our King, Who thus far has brought us from evil to good; The ransom that bought us, no less than his blood. 5 For blessings like these, so bounteously given, For prospects of peace and foretastes of heaven, ’Tis grateful, ’tis pleasant, to sing, and adore; Be thankful for present, and then ask for more.
