What thousands never knew the road!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #417 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What thousands never knew the road! What thousands hate it when 'tis known! None but the upright and sincere Will seek or choose it for their own. 2 A thousand ways in ruin end, One only leads to joys on high; By that my willing steps ascend, Pleased with a journey to the sky. 3 No more I ask, or hope to find Delight or happiness below; Sorrow may well possess the mind That feeds where thorns and thistles grow. 4 The joy that fades is not for me, I seek immortal joys above; There glory, without end, shall be The bright reward of faith and love. Topics: Choice of the Christian; Christians their life and experience; Self-Consecration; Crucifixion of Christians to the world; Happiness of life in Christ; Self-Consecration; Vanilty of earthly things; The narrow way Languages: English
