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.
3 As thou a Priest for us didst die, A King o're 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.
4 The way of pardon and of peace, And to be justify'd; The way to union with our God, It is by thee who dy'd.
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.
