Broad is the Road

by Daniel Read [c.1785]


[Men]
Broad is the road that leads to death
And thousands walk together there,
But wisdom shows a narrow path
With here and there a traveler.

[Women, Men come in one measure later]
"Deny thyself and take they cross,"
Is the Redeemer's great command:
Nature must count her gold but dross
If she would gain this heav'nly land.

[Sopranos and Tenors]			[Altos and Basses]
Lord, let not all my hopes be vain	Lord, let not all my hopes be vain
Create my heart entirely new		Create me entirely new
Which hypocrites could ne'er attain	Which hypocrites could ne'er attain
Which false apostates never knew	Which false apostates never knew

[Women]					[Men]
Broad is the road that leads to death	Broad is the road
And thousands walk together there,	that leads to death,
But wisdom shows a narrow path		Broad is the road
With here and there a traveler.		that leads to death.
