Lyrics

O Christ, the way, the truth, the life,
Show me the liv­ing way,
That in the tu­mult and the strife,
I may not go as­tray.

Teach me Thy truth, O Christ, my light,
The truth that makes me free
That in the dark­ness and the night,
My trust shall be in Thee.

The life that Thou alone canst give,
Impart in love to me,
That I may in Thy pre­sence live,
And ev­er be like Thee.
