Strait is the Way, the Door is strait

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLXI (1766) Lyrics: 1 Strait is the Way, the Door is strait, That leads to Joys on high; 'Tis but a few that find the Gate, While Crowds mistake and die. 2 Beloved Self must be deny'd, The Mind and Will renew'd Passion suppress'd, and Patience try'd, And vain Desires subdu'd. 3 Flesh is a dang'rous Foe to Grace, Where it prevails and rules; Flesh must be humbled, Pride abas'd, Lest they destroy our Souls. 4 The Love of Gold be banish'd hence, (That vile Idolatry) And ev'ry Member, ev'ry Sense, In sweet Subjection lie. 5 The Tongue, that most unruly Pow'r, Requires a strong Restraint: We must be watchful ev'ry Hour, And pray, but never faint. 6 Lord! can a feeble, helpless Worm Fulfil a Task so hard? Thy Grace must all my Work perform, And give the free Reward. Topics: Christian Virtues; Difficulty of Conversion; Heaven Meditation of it; Vain Prosperity Languages: English
