Tune: | METZLER |
Composer: | Richard Redhead, 1820-1901 |
1 Thou art the way: by thee alone
from sin and death we flee;
and they who would the Father seek
must seek him, Lord, by thee.
2 Thou art the truth: thy word alone
true wisdom can impart;
thou only canst inform the mind
and purify the heart.
3 Thou art the life: the rending tomb
proclaims thy conquering arm;
and those who put their trust in thee
nor death nor hell shall harm.
4 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.
