Sung to ORTONVILLE (hymn 179)

Words

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.

Thou art the Truth; thy word alone,True wisdom can impart;Thou only canst inform the mind,And purify the heart.

Thou art the Life; the rending tombProclaims thy conquering arm;And those who put their trust in thee,Nor death nor hell shall harm.

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.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «370» (large) with the reference line «179, 201, 147.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 179, 201 or 147), in the left column of p. 122 below the end of hymn 369 and «Isaac Watts.»; stanzas 1–4 in the left column, then «Anon.» in italics. The first word «THOU» is set in capitals and small capitals; it is written «Thou» here. The stanza numbers are printed without a period («1» … «4»); they are written «1.» … here, as in the other deliveries of this book. The print sets a thin space before «;» (e.g. «flee ;», «impart ;», «arm ;»); it is closed up here. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., like the referenced tunes). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
