Author: Friedrich Adolph Krummacher, (1767-1845) Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #428 (1926) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life from heaven,
This blest assurance Thou to us hast given;
O wilt Thou teach us, Lord, to win Thy pleasure
In fullest measure?
2 Thou art the Way: to reach our destination
We sorely need Thee, Fount of our salvation;
Lest we should stumble when our sins beset us,
Do not forget us.
3 Thou art the Truth: though darkness overtake us,
Thy heavenly light will nevermore forsake us;
O shine within us, all our gloom dispelling,
Make us Thy dwelling.
4 Thou art the Life: to all Thine own Thou givest
Eternal life where Thou forever livest;
There without ceasing, as we stand before Thee,
Let us adore Thee.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Names and Office of Christ Life; Names and Office of Christ Truth; Names and Office of Christ Way; Christ, the Life Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: INTEGER VITAE
