Author: Bernard Barton Hymnal: The Hymnbook #254 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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.
Amen. Topics: Bible, The; God Strength and Refuge; Scriptures, The Holy Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Tune Title: LAMBETH
