Author: Joseph McCreery Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Courage Lyrics: 1 I storm the gate of strife,
I force my passage through;
And, all intent on endless life,
The narrow way pursue.
Refrain:
I take the narrow way;
I take the narrow way:
With the resolute few who dare go through,
I take the narrow way.
2 I have the world behind,
After my Lord to go,
Renouncing with a steadfast mind,
Its pride and pomp and show. [Refrain]
3 The tinselry of earth,
The trappings of its pride,
Unworthy of my heav'nly birth,
I spurn them all aside. [Refrain]
4 I cannot slack my pace,
For earth's fantastic show,
For like a flint I've set my face,
That I'll to Zion go. [Refrain]
I storm the gate of strife
