The Way, the Truth, and the Life.

By Theodore Parker

O Thou great Friend to all the sons of men, Who once appeared in humblest guise below, Sin to rebuke, to break the captive's chain, And call thy brethren forth from want and wo,—

We look to Thee! Thy truth is still the Light Which guides the nations, groping on their way, Stumbling and falling in disastrous night, Yet hoping ever for the perfect day.

Yes; Thou art still the Life, Thou art the Way The holiest know; Light, Life, the Way of Heaven! And they who dearest hope and deepest pray, Toil by the Light, Life, Way, which Thou hast given.

— Theodore Parker.
