THOU art the Way, to Thee alone From sin and death we flee; And he who would the Father seek Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.
Thou art the Truth, Thy Word alone True wisdom can impart; Thou only canst inform the mind, And purify the heart.
Thou art the Life, the rending tomb Proclaims Thy conquering arm: And those who put their trust in Thee Nor death nor hell shall harm.
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.
George Washington Doane, 1799-1859
