1 There is one way, and only one,
out of our gloom, and sin, and care,
to that fair land where shines no sun
because the face of God is there.

2 There is one truth, the truth of God,
that Christ came down from heaven to show,
one Life that his redeeming blood
has won for all his saints below.

3 The lore from Philip once concealed,
we know its fullness now in Christ;
in him the Father is revealed,
and all our longing is sufficed.

4 And still unwavering faith holds sure
the words that James wrote sternly down;
except we labour and endure,
we cannot win the heavenly crown.

5 O Way Divine, through gloom and strife,
bring us thy Father's face to see;
O heavenly Truth, O precious Life,
at last, at last, to rest in thee.
