hymnal 521
1. Strait is the gate to salvation, Narrow the way leading there.
Rocky the path way of life is, Rough, and beleaguered with care.
Yet, tho' we be all entangled. In the uncleanness of sin,
Let us put off each defilement, Search out the strait gate and go in!
Come, enter in at the strait gate, Salvation's pathway and door!
This is the way, walk we in it; This way is life evermore!
2. Many prefer ample arches, Ways trodden broad through the years.
Such roads, though pleasant to walk in, End in destruction and tears.
Let us forego earthly treasures, Glory and lofty estate;
Walk in the way of the Gospel, Enter to life through the strait gate.
Come, enter in at the strait gate, Salvation's pathway and door! 
This is the way, walk we in it; This way is life evermore! 
3. Jesus has opened salvation. Walk in the strength of His grace.
Step out without hesitation! On, for our life's dwelling place!
Life's gate won't be there forever. Some day it's closing and then
All of your wishing can never Open it up for you again!
Come, enter in at the strait gate, Salvation's pathway and door!
This is the way, walk we in it; This way is life evermore!
