LyicsTHERE is no path to heav'nly bliss,
To solid joy or lasting peace,
But Christ, th' appointed road;
O may we tread the sacred way,
By faith rejoice, and sing, and pray,
Till we sit down with God.
The types and shadows of the word
Unite in Christ, the Man, the Lord,
The Saviour kind true;
O may we still his word believe,
And all his promises receive,
And all his precepts do.
As he above for ever lives,
And life to dying mortals gives,
Eternal and divine;
O may his Spirit in me dwell!
Then, sav'd from sin, and death, and hell,
Eternal life is mine.
