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.
7 And we thy praises will sing forth, And in the way rejoice; Nay sing again melodiously With a most cheerful voice.
7 And we thy praises will sing forth, And in the way rejoyce; Nay sing again melodiously With a most chearful voice.
