The Good Old Way

Inquiring souls, who long to find

Tune: [Inquiring souls who long to find] (Lewis)
Published in 31 hymnals

Audio files: MIDI

Representative Text

1 Inquiring souls who long to find
Pardon of sin and peace of mind,
Attend the voice of God today,
Who bids you seek the good old way.

Refrain:
The prophets and th’ apostles too,
Pursued this way, while here below,
Then let not fear your souls dismay,
But come to Christ, the good old way.

2 The righteousness, th’atoning blood,
Of Jesus, is the way to god,
Oh, may you then no longer stray
But walk in Christ, the good old way. [Refrain]
