There is one way, and on­ly one,
Out of our gloom, and sin, and care,
To that far land where shines no sun
Because the face of God is there.

There is one truth, the truth of God,
That Christ came down from Heav’n to show,
One life that His re­deem­ing blood
Has won for all His saints be­low.

The lore from Phil­ip once con­cealed,
We know its full­ness now in Christ;
In Him the Fa­ther is re­vealed,
And all our long­ing is suf­ficed.

And still un­wav­er­ing faith holds sure
The words that James wrote stern­ly down;
Except we la­bor and en­dure,
We can­not win the heav’n­ly crown.

O way di­vine, through gloom and strife,
Bring us Thy Fa­ther’s face to see;
O heav’nly truth, O pre­cious life,
At last, at last, we rest in Thee.
