LyicsMy God inspire this heart of mine,
To praise thy name in songs of thine-
May heav'nly love, breathe thro' my clay,
While singing of the living way.
The way of death with haste I trod,
Oppress'd with sin, a heavy load-
But O! how happy was that day,
When first I found the living way.
Jesus' pure harmless flesh, I see,
Was rent and torn, and bled for me;
That blood of Christ, sheds heav'nly day,
And points me out the living way.
O God! when now I view the plan,
How Christ descends and dwells with man,
I leap for joy and gladly say,
I'm in the new and living way.
When e'er thy smiling face I view,
My strength and vigor I renew;
I'm then prepar'd to sing and pray
Along the new and living way.
When in this living way I move,
I'm fill'd with sweet seraphie love;
O how I long to see the day,
When all shall crowd this living way.
And when I reach that blessed place,
Where living streams and joy and peace
Shall fill my soul, in endless day,
I'll praise the new and living way.
