I Am the Way

Representative Text

1 O soul by evil driven,
Needing both light and cheer,
That hope to you be given,
Jesus your Savior hear.

Refrain:
"I am the way, the truth and the life;
No man cometh unto the Father but by Me;
I am the way, the truth and the life;
No man cometh unto the Father but by Me."

2 In search of worldly pleasure,
Downward you go each day,
While others lay up treasure,
Following life’s true way. [Refrain]

3 Just let the Savior guide you,
Happy you then will be,
For He will stay beside you,
Keeping you pure and free. [Refrain]

4 If you would meet in Heaven
Those that you miss today,
The Blessèd One must lead you—
He is the only way. [Refrain]
