Show Me the Path of Life

Author: Asa Hull Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #146 (1885) First Line: There is a straight and narrow path Lyrics: 1 There is a straight and narrow path That leads to joys above; Where free from sin, and fear, and wrath, The air is filled with love. Chorus: Show me the path of life, Show me the path of life; Show me the path of life, That I may walk therein; Show me the path of life, That I may walk therein. 2 Amid earth’s tumult and its strife, Amid its toil and care, How few will seek the path of life, And less do enter there. [Chorus] 3 The eager throng is pressing on; With breathless haste they fly From toy to toy, till life is gone, And then for mercy cry. [Chorus] 4 Help me, O Lord, the path to shun, That leads to endless woe; Though broad the road that many run, The narrow way I’d go. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a straight and narrow path]
