Hymn CXXX. Long Metre. Christ the Way to God

In vain would boasting reason find The way to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind, Bewilder'd in a doubtful road.

Jesus, no other name but thine, Is given by everlasting love, To lead our souls to joys divine; No other name will God approve.

Eternal life thy words impart, On these, my fainting spirit lives; Diviner comforts cheer my heart Than all the power of nature gives.

To whom but thee, shall mortals go, To find the true and living way, That leads us thro' this world of woe. To the bright realms of endless day.

Here let my constant feet abide, Nor from the heavenly way depart! Let thy good spirit be my guide, Direct my steps and rule my heart.

In thee, my great, almighty friend, My safety dwells and peace divine; On thee alone my hopes depend, For life, eternal life is thine.
