The thousands of his sheep;

Must seek him, Lord, by thee.

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 taste,
Whose joys eternal flow.
1 THOU art the Way- and he who sighs
Amid this starless waste of woe
To find a pathway to the skies,
A light from heaven's eternal glow
