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