The Two Ways (Rhodes)

There is a way that leads un­to God

And ’tis the same that Je­sus once trod;

None in it walk till cleansed from all sin

Ah! there are few who jour­ney there­in.

Help us

O God

to make now our choice

And in Thy love and serv­ice re­joice;

Loyal and true

O help us to be

Till we are safe in Heav­en with Thee.

There is a way

al­lur­ing and fair

Yet it will lead to death and des­pair;

Sorrow it brings

no rest or de­light

Many it tread by day and by night.

Which of these ways

O which shall we go?

Home to our God

or down­ward to woe?

We for our­selves must quick­ly de­cide

And by our choice for­ev­er abide.
