Hymn
Thou art the Way, to Thee alone
Thou art the way; to Thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek Him, Lord, thro' Thee.
Thou art the truth; Thy Word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst instruct 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 to know that way,
That truth to keep, that life to win,
Which lead to endless day.
Amen.
