457 Thou art the Way, to thee

1 Thou art the Way, to thee alone from sin and death we flee; and all who would the Father seek, must seek him, Lord, by thee.

2 Thou art the Truth: thy word alone true wisdom can impart; thou only canst inform the mind and purify the heart.

3 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.

4 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.
