Jesu, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
In whom I now believe,
As taught by thee, in faith I pray,
Expecting to receive.
Thy will by me on earth be done,
As by the choirs above,
Who always see thee on thy throne,
And glory in thy love.
I ask in confidence the grace,
That I may do thy will,
As angels, who behold thy face,
And all thy words fulfil.
Surely I shall, the sinner I
Shall serve thee without fear;
My heart no longer gives the lie
To my deceitful prayer.
When thou the work of faith hast wrought,
I shall be pure within,
Nor sin in deed, or word, or thought;
For angels never sin.
From thee no more shall I depart,
No more unfaithful prove,
But love thee with a constant heart;
For angels always love.
I all thy holy will shall prove:
I, a weak, sinful worm,
When thee with all my heart I love,
Shall all thy law perform.
The graces of my second birth
To me shall all be given;
And I shall do thy will on earth,
As angels do in heaven.
