Lamp of Our Feet, Whereby We Trace

Author: Bernard Barton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Scripture: James 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heavenly grace, Brook by the traveler's way. 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed, True manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark, Or radiant cloud by day; When waves would whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay; 4 Word of the everliving God, Will of His glorious Son: Without thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 5 Lord, grant that we aright may learn The wisdom it imparts, And to its heavenly teaching turn With simple, childlike hearts.

Thou our Father, Christ our brother, All who live in love are thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began; Love divine is reigning o’er us, Binding all within its span.
