- 1There is only one way to the kingdom of God,'Tis the oldfashioned way of the cross;You must come to the Savior, pass under the blood,You must count earthly pleasure as dross.There is only one way,(There is only one way, only one way,)'Tis the old-fashioned way,(‘Tis the old-fashioned way, 'tis the old-fashioned way,)You will find it today, if you come to the cross,And are washed in the sin-cleansing blood.
- 2There is only one way to the kingdom of God, You will find it is narrow and steep;Turn away from the one that is easy and broad,In the footsteps of Christ ever keep.There is only one way,(There is only one way, only one way,)'Tis the old-fashioned way,(‘Tis the old-fashioned way, 'tis the old-fashioned way,)You will find it today, if you come to the cross,And are washed in the sin-cleansing blood.
- 3There is only one way to the kingdom of God,'Tis the same for the great or the small;'Tis the way of the cross and the sin-cleansing blood,'Tis the way of salvation for all.There is only one way,(There is only one way, only one way,)'Tis the old-fashioned way,(‘Tis the old-fashioned way, 'tis the old-fashioned way,)You will find it today, if you come to the cross,And are washed in the sin-cleansing blood.
- 4There is only one way to the kingdom of God,But it leads to the home of the soul;And the saved of all ages this pathway have trod,As they journeyed in faith to the goal.There is only one way,(There is only one way, only one way,)'Tis the old-fashioned way,(‘Tis the old-fashioned way, 'tis the old-fashioned way,)You will find it today, if you come to the cross,And are washed in the sin-cleansing blood.
