LyicsThere is no path to heavenly bliss,
Or solid joy, or lasting peace,
But Christ th' appointed road;
O may we tread the sacred Way;
By faith rejoice, and praise, and pray,
Till we sit down with God!
The types, and shadows of the word
Unite in Christ, the man, the Lord,
The Saviour, just and true;
O may we all his word believe,
And all his promises receive,
And all his precepts do.
As he above for ever lives,
And life to dying sinners gives,
Eternal and divine;
O may his spirit in me dwell,
Then sav'd from sin, and death, and hell,
Eternal life is mine.
