I Am the Way

O soul by evil driven,
Needing both light and cheer,
That hope to you be given,
Jesus your Savior hear.

Refrain

“I am the Way, the Truth and the Life;
No man cometh unto the Father but by Me;
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life;
No man cometh unto the Father but by Me.”

In search of worldly pleasure,
Downward you go each day,
While others lay up treasure,
Following life’s true way.

Refrain

Just let the Savior guide you,
Happy you then will be,
For He will stay beside you,
Keeping you pure and free.

Refrain

If you would meet in Heaven
Those that you miss today,
The Blessèd One must lead you—
He is the only way.

Refrain

No clear attribution in the provided text or common hymnals. The style, simple language, and direct use of John 14:6 suggest a late-19th or early-20th-century gospel song, possibly by a lesser-known writer such as those associated with Sunday-school or revival collections. No strong match to well-known authors like Fanny Crosby, Philip Bliss, or Eliza Hewitt.
