For sinful men lost, and astray,
Who’ve wandered from the narrow path
And brought upon them righteous wrath.
Refrain;
Rejoice! Rejoice! the way is clear.
Give God the praise, for Christ is here.
Accept Him now, for Truth is He,
And live thro’ all eternity.

I loved thee from thy days of youth,
I suffered, bled and died for thee,
That thou might’st live eternally. [Refrain]
3 Thus saith the Lord, "I am the life,"
I came to save the world from strife,
I am the life, the truth, the way,
Whoever will, may come today. [Refrain]
4 Thus saith the Lord, "I am the door,"
With heart of love, I thee implore,
Come enter in, the door swings wide;
I am thy Lord, once crucified. [Refrain]
