2 We, Lord, would find the way to bliss, Where does thy Father dwell; No Habitation like to his, His favour does excel.
2 We, Lord, would find the way to bliss, Where does thy Father dwell; No Habitation like to his, His favour does excell.
3 How shall we take up our abode In him whom we should love? How shall we find the way to God, And come to him above?
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.
