- 1Thou 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.
- 2Thou art the truth; Thy Word alone
- True wisdom can impart;
- Thou only canst instruct the mind
- And purify the heart.
- 3Thou 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.
- 4Thou 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.
- 5Amen.
