4 The way was barred up by our sin, Another's opened; Thou art the way, by thee must we For evermore be led.
4 The way was barr'd up by our sin, Another's opened; Thou art the way, by thee must we For evermore be led.
5 By thy sweet Life, and by thy Death, And by thy Doctrine too, Thou art the way, none else on earth Is there for us to go.
The Second Part. 1 There is no way to God most high, But only Lord by thee; No other Name whereby we saved, O Lord, can ever be. 2 As thou the Mediator art, And didst atone for sin; And thy own merits dost impart, The way in thee is seen. 3 As thou a Priest for us didst die, A King o'er us to reign; And as a Prophet us to teach, We see the way most plain. 4 The way of pardon and of peace, And to be justified; The way to union with our God, It is by thee who died. 5 If we would have eternal life, Thou art the way thereto; 'Tis not by our own righteousness, Though some that way do go. 6 No 'tis by thee, by thee alone, Thou art the way, O Lord; ⟨p. 73⟩Tis by thy merits, on them to rest, Thy grace do thou afford. 7 And we thy praises will sing forth, And in the way rejoice; Nay sing again melodiously With a most cheerful voice.
