Thou art the way!

332 St. Bernard. C. M.

1 Thou art the Way: to Thee alone
   From sin and death we flee;
   And he who would the Father seek,
   Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.

2 Thou art the Truth: Thy word alone
   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 win,
   Whose joys eternal flow.
