Text:Way, truth, and life

CCII. Way, truth, and life

1 There is no path to heavenly bliss,
Or solid joy, or lasting peace,
But Christ th' appointed road;
O may we tread the sacred way,
By faith rejoice, and praise, and pray,
Till we sit down with God!

2 The types, and shadows of the word
Unite in Christ, the man, the Lord,
The Savior just and true;
O may we all his word believe,
And all his promises receive,
And all his precepts do.

3 As he above for ever lives,
And life to dying sinners gives,
Eternal and divine;
O may his spirit in me dwell,
Then sav'd from sin, and death, and hell,
Eternal life is mine.
