I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
John 14:6
Words & Music: James McGranahan, in Gospel Hymns No. 5, edited by Ira D. Sankey, James McGranahan & George C. Stebbins (New York; Cincinnati, Ohio & Chicago, Illinois: John Church and Biglow & Main, 1887), number 104 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Like wandering sheep o’er mountains cold,
Since all have gone astray;
To life and peace within the fold,
How may I find the way?
Refrain
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
No man cometh unto the Father but by Me.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
No man cometh unto the Father but by Me.
Bewildered oft with doubt and care,
To God I fain would go;
While many cry Lo here! Lo there!
The truth how may I know?
Refrain
To Christ the Way, the Truth, the Life,
I come, no more to roam;
He’ll guide me to my Father’s house,
To my eternal home.
Refrain
