1 The way to Heaven is narrow, And its blessèd entrance strait; But how safe the little pilgrims Who get within the gate!
2 The sunbeams of the morning Make the narrow path so fair; And these early little pilgrims Find dewy blessings there.
3 They pass o’er rugged mountains, But they climb them with a song; For these early little pilgrims Have sandals new and strong.
4 They do not greatly tremble When the shadows night foretell; For these early little pilgrims Have tried the path so well.
5 They know it leads to Heaven, With its bright and open gates, Where for happy little pilgrims A Savior’s welcome waits.Source: The Cyber Hymnal #8741
