Lyics

THOU art the Way, to Thee alone

From sin and death we flee;

And he who would the Father seek,

Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.



Thou art the Truth, Thy word alone

True wisdom can impart;

Thou, only, canst inform the mind,

And purify the heart.



Thou art the Life, the rending tomb

Proclaims Thy conqu'ring arm;

And those who put their trust in Thee

Nor death nor hell shall harm.



Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life;

Grant us that way to know,

That truth to keep, that life to win,

Whose joys eternal flow.
