Lord, I am at the crossroads!
It is my hour of trial;
One leads to wealth and honor,
One leads to self-denial;
The gods of earth are seeking
To win me to their side;
But O, Thou God of Heaven,
I would with Thee abide!

Lord, I am at the crossroads!
One road is very fair,
And they that tread its mosses
Are decked with jewels rare;
I hear their careless laughter,
Their songs and revelry;
But ah! this road of pleasure
Leads far away from Thee.

Lord, I am at the crossroads!
One road is rough and bare;
I see the crimson blood-drops
Of One who traveled there;
I see the Man of Sorrows,
Who died upon the tree;
I see the King eternal
Who suffered there for me.

Lord, I will leave the crossroads!
To walk the road with Thee;
It may be rough and narrow,
But saves eternally.
I know that Thou wilt guide me,
Through ev'ry passing day;
For Thou shalt go before me,
Directing all the way.
