423 Straight is the gate to heaven above,
1 Straight is the gate to heaven above,
And narrow is the way;
Yet there is room in God's great love
For thee, for thee alway,
For thee, for thee alway.
2 In Paradise there still is room,
There still is room for thee;
For thee the Savior hath a home,
I:Where heavenly mansions be.:I
3 Though thousand times ten thousands stand
White-robed in glory there,
There is a place at God's right hand
I:For thee in heaven so fair.:I
4 In Jesus' heart there still is room,
In heaven is room also,
The gospel message bids thee come,
I:Praise God who loves thee, too.:I
5 Now God be praised, who even me
A glorious diadem
Will grant when I His glory see
I:In His Jerusalem.:I
