Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: Not far, not far from the kingdom Refrain First Line: Not far, not far from the kingdom Lyrics: 1 Not far, not far from the kingdom,
Yet in the shadow of sin;
How many coming and going!
But few are entering in!
Refrain:
Not far, not far from the kingdom,
Yet lingering still at the gate;
O wait no longer, dear brother,
But enter ere ‘tis too late.
2 Not far, not far from the gateway,
Where voices whisper and wait;
But fearing to enter in boldly,
They linger still at the gate! [Refrain]
3 They catch the strains of the music,
That floats so sweetly along;
Tho’ knowing the song they are singing,
Yet joining not in the song. [Refrain]
4 They’re in the dark and the danger;
They’re in the night and the cold,
Tho’ He is now longing to lead them
So kindly into the fold. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation Used With Tune: [Not far, not far from the kingdom]
