Original text and translations

English.png English text

1. Thou art the Way: by 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.
