Refrain:

O, the downward road is crowded,
Crowded, crowded,
O, the downward road is crowded,
With unbelieving souls.

Come, all ye wayward travelers,
And let us all join and sing,
The everlasting praises,
Of Jesus Christ our King.

Old Satan's mighty busy,
He follows me night and day,
And everywhere I'm appointed,
There's something in my way.

When I was a sinner,
I loved my distance well,
But when I came to find myself,
I was hanging over Hell.
