"I am the Way,"—nor other way is there
That leads to heaven and God. "I am the Way,"
And, having Me, though thou hadst wandered far,
Thou art not wandering now, but in the way.
"I am the Truth,"—full oft thou'st been deceived,
And many a time beguiled thy heart hast been;
Now, having Me, thou hast the truth received,
And freed art thou from the deceits of men.
"I am the Life,"—once dead in sins thou'st been,
Though in dead works thine energies were rife,
But, oh, how dead! now Me thine eyes have seen,
And, having Me, thou hast indeed the Life.
Lord Jesus! Thou alone my glory art,
Poor, weak, and erring, wherein can I boast?
I dare not trust the promptings of my hart,
But I can trust Thee, Thou dost save the lost.
