The Upward Path
Author: Julia H. Johnston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Come, walk in wisdom’s pleasant ways Refrain First Line: Then choose today the narrow way Lyrics: 1 Come, walk in wisdom’s pleasant ways,
For all her paths are peace;
The narrow way that leads to God,
Where toil and trials cease.
Refrain:
Then choose today the narrow way,
Where peace and safety lie;
In all thy ways acknowledge Him
Who watches from on high.
1 There’s danger in the widening way
That leadeth downward still;
Touch not the poison of the cup
The tempter waits to fill. [Refrain]
3 The head is dull, the heart is weak,
The hands are feeble, too.
When alcohol with burning breath
His victim doth pursue. [Refrain]
4 From mocking wine come wickedness,
And weakness, want and woe;
While sin, and suffering, and shame,
And sorrow, wait below. [Refrain]
5 Then choose, O choose the upward way
Of pleasantness and peace;
The Lord shall then direct thy paths,
Till days on earth shall cease. [Refrain] Used With Tune: CLOONEY Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)
