Lyics

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!



Bread of our souls, whereon we feed!

True manna from on high!

Our guide and chart, wherein we read

Of realms beyond the sky!



Pillar of fire through watches dark,

And radiant cloud by day!

When waves would whelm our tossing bark,

Our anchor and our stay!



Word of the everlasting God!

Will of his glorious Son!

Without thee, how could earth be trod,

Or heaven itself be won?
