L. M.

Christ the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Thou art the way; and he who sighs,

Amid this starless waste of woe,

To find a pathway to the skies,

A light from heaven’s eternal glow,

By thee must come, thou gate of love,

Through which the saints undoubting trod,

Till faith discovers, like the dove,

An ark, a resting-place in God.
