La senda ancha dejaré

Representative Text

1 La senda ancha dejare,
Yo quiero por la angosta andar,
Y muchos no sabrán porque,
Más voy a mi celeste hogar.

Refrain:
No puede el mundo ser mi hogar,
No puede el mundo ser mi hogar;
En gloria tengo mi mansión,
No puede el mundo ser mi hogar.

2 Algunos quieren verme ir,
Por el sendero de maldad;
Oír no puedo su llamar,
Pues voy a mi celeste hogar. [Refrain]

3 ¡Oh! ven conmigo pecador,
Y sigue en pos del Salvador.
¿Por qué no quieres tu buscar,
La hermosa tierra más allá? [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
