LyicsO Lord, thy perfect word
Directs our steps aright;
Nor can all other books afford
Such profit or delight.
Celestial light it sheds
To cheer this vale below;
To distant lands its glory spreads,
And streams of mercy flow.
True wisdom it imparts;
Commands our hope and fear:
O may we hide it in our hearts,
And feel its influence there!
