Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life

1.
Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:  
such a way as gives us breath;
such a truth as ends all strife;
such a life as killeth death.

2.
Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:  
such a light as shows a feast;
such a feast as mends in length;
such a strength as makes his guest.

3.
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:  
such a joy as none can move;
such a love as none can part;
such a heart as joys in love.

Words:  George Herbert, The Temple, 1633
   Tune:  Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1911, Five Mystical Songs, No. 4;
