Jesus Opened up the Way

Jesus Christ the Lord

Opened up the way to glory

When He died to save us

From our ruined state.

And He asks that we shall go

Tell the world the story,

How His blood will save them

From their awful fate.

Jesus opened up

The way to heaven's gate

When He died on the cross

To redeem all the lost;

He prepared the road

That leads to His abode,

'Tis a road, marked by blood

But it leads us home to God.

And the way is marked

By the foot-prints of the Savior,

With His blood He made it,

Made it plain and straight;

If you walk that way,

It will lead you into heaven,

Lead you safely into

Glory's golden gate.

Sinner, will you come and join

in this heav'nly journey,

Walk the bloody pathway

That the Savior trod;

Then when life is over

And all the sheaves are garnered,

You will meet the Savior

and be not afraid.
