Lyics

WHEN Israel through the desert pass'd,

A fiery pillar went before;

To guide them through the dreary waste,

And lessen the fatigues they bore.



Such is thy glorious word, O God,

'Tis for our light and guidance given;

It sheds a lustre all abroad,

And points the path to bliss and heaven.
