WAY.
Reading edition
Show me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.—Psalm xxv. 4.
Jesus saith I am the way, the truth, and the life.—John, xiv. 6.
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord.—Proverbs, xv. 9.
Thou canst accomplish all things, Lord of might! And every thought is naked to Thy sight. But O, Thy ways are wonderful, and lie Beyond the deepest reach of mortal eye. Young.
To me, O Lord, be Thou “The Way,” To me be Thou “The Truth;” To me, my Saviour, be “The Life,” Thou Guardian of my youth! So shall that Way be my delight, That Truth shall make me free; That Life shall raise me from the dead, And then I’ll live to thee. Leigh Richmond.
Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life— And hearts that, with presumption rife, Would seek through other means to gain Light, Truth, and Life, but toil in vain: Thy hand alone controls our way, Thy Truth bids darkness turn to day; And they Eternal Life have gained Whose names are written on Thy Hand. S. D. Patterson.
Know well, my soul, God’s hand controls Whate’er thou fearest; Round Him, in calmest music, rolls Whate’er thou hearest. What to thee is shadow, to Him is day, And the end He knoweth; And not on a blind and aimless way The Spirit goeth. J. G. Whittier.
