Thou art the Way! All ways are thorny mazes without Thee; Where hearts are pierced, and thoughts all aimless stray, In Thee the heart stands firm, the life moves free: Thou art our Way! Thou art the Truth! Truth for the mind, grand, glorious, infinite, A heaven still boundless o'er its highest growth; Bread for the heart its daily need to meet. Thou art the Truth! Thou art the Light! Earth beyond earth no faintest ray can give; Heaven's shadeless noontide blinds our mortal sight; In Thee we look on God, and love and live; Thou art our Light Thou art the Rock! Doubts none can solve heave wild on every side, Wave meeting wave of thought in ceaseless shock; On Thee the soul rests calm amidst the tide: Thou art the Rock! Thou art the Life! All ways without Thee paths that end in death; All life without Thee with death's harvest rife; All truths dry bones, disjoined and void of breath: Thou art our Life! For Thou art Love! Our Way and End! the way is rest with Thee! O living Truth! the truth is life in Thee! O Life essential! life is bliss with Thee!
