Way, Truth and Life

Verse 1

“I am,” saith Christ, “the Way”; Now, if we credit him, All other paths must lead astray, How fair soe’er they seem.

Verse 2

“I am,” says Christ, “the Truth”; Then all that lacks this test, Proceed it from an angel’s mouth, Is but a lie at best.

Verse 3

“I am,” says Christ, “the Life”; Let this be seen by faith, It follows, without further strife, That all besides is death.

Verse 4

If what those words aver, The Holy Ghost apply, The simplest Christian shall not err, Nor be deceived, nor die.
