Scriptures now display. Christ as the only true and living way. His precious blood on Calvary was given To make them heirs of endless bliss in heaven; And E'en en earth the child of God can trace The glorious blessings of His Saviatir's grace. F o r then He bore His Father's frown; For them He wore The thorny Crown; Nailed to the Cross, Endured its pain, That His life's loss' Might be their gain, Then haste to 'choose That better part, Nor dare refuse The Lord thy heart, Lest He declare, "I know you not," And deep despair Should be your lot.
