The Way Within the Way
Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: I have chosen to walk in the narrow way Refrain First Line: There's a way within the highway Lyrics: 1 I have chosen to walk in the narrow way,
Which the saints of old once trod;
‘Tis a glorious way for it leads at last,
To a place by the throne of God.
Chorus:
There’s a way within the highway,
A narrow way within the highway,
And by His grace it shall be my way,
This narrow way of holiness.
2 ‘Tis the way of the pure and the sanctified,
“Naught unclean shall o’er it pass;
And the wayfaring man shall not err therein,”
This plain way to holiness. [Chorus]
3 “And the shouts of the ransomed shall there resound
As to Zion they return;”
Praise the Lord, hallelujah! the way I’ve found,
And to glory am pressing on. [Chorus]
