When o'er the trodden paths of life

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2 Lyrics: 1 When, o'er the trodden paths of life, Backwards I turn mine eyes, What varied scenes, throughout the road, Awaken my surprise! 2 Thousands, to whom my natal hour Imparted vital breath, Just looked on life, and closed their eyes In the fast sleep of death. 3 Thousands, who climb'd to manhood's stage; Safe through unnumber'd snares; Travell'd not far before they sunk Amidst its thorns and cares. 4 Follow'd thro' every changing stage, With goodness all my days, Deny me not a heart to love, A tongue to speak thy praise. 5 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee, My grateful lips shall give; And, while I make thy grace my trust, To thee alone I'll live. 6 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee, Echo along the road; O! may I join those endless songs, That fill thy blest abode.

Your Word is like an armory, where soldiers may repair, and find, for life's long battle day, all needful weapons there. 3 O may I love your precious Word, may I explore the mine, may I its fragrant flowers glean, may light upon me shine. O may I find my armor there, your Word my trusty sword; I'll learn to fight with every foe the battle of the Lord.
