Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #129 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Lord, should we leave thy hallow'd feet Lyrics: 1 Lord, should we leave thy hallow'd feet,
To whom should we repair?
Where else such holy comforts meet,
As spring perennial there?
2 Thou art the way--through thee alone
From sin and death we flee:
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, by thee.
3 Thou art the truth--thy word alone
Sound wisdom can impart:
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.
4 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.
5 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. Languages: English
