John 14: The Truth by Thy own word

The Truth by Thy own word
Into our hearts convey,
The Life by Thy own grace bestow,
And then in Thee our God we know.
By faith we walk in Thee

The Way, the Truth of grace,
And full felicity
By steadfast hope embrace;
And Thee the' eternal Life approve,
The only Object of our love.
We out of Thee, the Way

No end of wandering find;
Without the Truth we stray
In sin and error blind;
Without the Life as dead appear,
And hell must be our sepulchre.
Our heart hath lost by sin

The life of righteousness,
Our mind is dark within,
And wants the light of grace,
Our senses miss the creature-road,
Which should conduct us back to God.
But lo, in Christ alone

Again the Way we see
To God and heaven made known
Through His humanity
Again the Truth His light imparts,
And Christ the Life revives our hearts.
Thee Jesus we confess

Our Advocate and Friend,
Truth of the promises,
And joys which ne'er shall end,
Our Principle and Head receive,
By whom alone Thy members live.

Who wilfully refuse
The Life, the Truth, the Way,
Deserve themselves to lose
And in delusion stray,
Deprived of grace while here they breathe,
And then to die the endless death.

But O the Way came down
Our wandering souls to seek,
The Truth of light unknown
Did in our darkness speak,
And lest we should in death abide,
The Life Himself for sinners died.

Now in the Way we go
Who Christ by faith receive,
By faith the Truth we know,
By faith the Life we live,
On Jesu's cross to heaven ascend,
Where faith in Jesu's sight shall end.
