Pray halt! as you pass on your journey through life,
For great are the issues at stake;
The choice is before you of life or of death;
Oh, which of these ways will you take?
Tomorrow no choice may be open to you,
So ponder the path of your feet;
Be wise and consider the word of the Lord,
In the place where the two ways meet.
Two ways lie before you, the narrow and broad;
One leads to the city of God;
The other to death and the pangs of remorse,
Where many have foolishly trod;
The steps of the righteous are ordered of God,
His Word is a lamp to their feet;
And looking to Jesus a Savior they find,
Where mercy and righteousness meet.
In faith look to Jesus and learn how He walked,
Your way to the Shepherd confide;
For Christ is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life,
And He is the only true Guide.
Now God has appointed a time unto all,
A Judge or a Savior to meet;
Each heart is laid bare to the eyes of the Lord,
So ponder the path of your feet.
