1. "I Am," saith Christ, "the Way:" Now, if we credit Him, All other paths must lead astray, How fair soe'er they seem. 2. "I am," saith Christ, "the Truth:" Then all that lacks this test, Proceed it from an angel's mouth, Is but a lie at best. 3. "I Am," saith Christ, "the Life:" Let this be seen by faith; It follows, without further strife, That all besides is death. 4. If what those words aver, The Holy Ghost apply, The simplest Christian shall not err, Nor be deceived, nor die.
