There are man¤y who say,
“Are there few that be saved?”
Un¤con¤cerned for their own pre¤cious ¤life;
As the mul¤ti¤tudes roam
In the dark¤ness and gloom,
They are lost mid the din and the ¤strife.

Chorus:
One day too late, man¤y will wait,
Stand knock¤ing out¤side at the ¤gate;
Je¤sus will say, “De¤part ye a¤way,
The door is now shut, it’s too ¤late.”
too late.

Do not lin¤ger or stay
On the world’s broad high¤way.
Do not wait for the man¤y or ¤few;
Leave the path¤way of sin,
By the door en¤ter in,
While the Spir¤it is striv¤ing with ¤you.

While He calls you, a¤rise,
And no long¤er de¤spise,
Do not tri¤fle with Him, I im¤¤plore;
See His heart yearns for you;
Say, oh, what will you do
If He leaves you out¤side of the ¤door?

There is com¤ing a day
When the Mas¤ter will say,
“Go! de¤part, ye are not of my ¤flock;”
You will then weep and wail,
But no tears will a¤vail,
It is use¤less then stand¤ing to ¤knock.

God’s re¤ply now to you
Is to press your way through,
Strive to en¤ter the gate that is ¤strait;
There are man¤y will strive,
When the door is fast shut,
It will then be for¤ev¤er too ¤late.
