This other and simpler hymn is for St. Philip
and St. James's Day--'I am the way, the truth, and the life.'
|
104
Christ opened on the tree
A way to heaven's door;
And Thou Thyself, O Jesus, art
The Way for evermore.
|
|
Truth is the homeward way
These erring feet must wend;
And Thou art still the Perfect Truth,
O Jesu, dearest Friend.
|
|
The way is life indeed
To all that walk therein;
And Thou, O Christ, art very Life,
Who savest us from sin.
|
|
Give grace to keep the Way,
The paths of Truth made straight:
And follow as Thy flock before,
Until we reach the gate.
|
|
Give strength to keep the Way,
Heedless of human sign:
Where Thou hast walked let me be led,
Thy very steps be mine!
