Representative Text

1 O! walk the way of life,
Walk in the narrow way
That leads from earthly strife
To eternal day.

Refrain:
O! walk the way of life!
Walk in the narrow way
That leads from earthly strife
To eternal day!

2 O! walk the way of life
Till time makes white the hair,
And then we’ll gladly climb
Up the golden stair. [Refrain]

3 O! walk the way of life
Our Fathers walked before,
Who reign with Christ in light
On the brighter shore. [Refrain]

4 O! walk the way of life
Till time shall be no more,
And then on Jesus’ breast
Rest for evermore. [Refrain]
